The Nile Project
|
| The Nile River starts south of the Equator and flows northwards for 6,853 kilometers (over 4,200 miles) to drain in the Mediterranean Sea. Founded in 2011 by Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis and Ethiopian-American singer Meklit Hadero, the Nile Project is a collective of 27 musicians from 7 of the 11 countries in the Nile basin, a region that has been marred by political and ecological conflicts over water resources along the Nile River. Through music and educational programs, the project uses music to create an interdisciplinary dialogue about the future of the Nile ecosystem. This video of the live talk by TED Global Fellow Meklit Hadero features footage and music from the short film, LIFEBLOOD, produced by redfitz. |

Practice starts at 5pm, but doesn’t really get going until 5:30pm, after “Miss Wawa” has hugged and kissed all the kids. Jones sets a tough standard: each team member must complete 200 hours of community service, keep up with homework, maintain at least a C average in school, and come to practice on time. The results? In a city with a 50% high school drop out rate, 100% of Miss Wawa’s kids have graduated, with many going on to college and graduate programs. – { read more }
