Steph on Power in the Voice
The project is very interesting and it has given the opportunities to youngsters to spread out all their feelings and talents to others, to be able to show it, say we can do it. In Mauritius we are lacking in Art Performances for children. It's really important to give to the youngsters activities, to let crowds everywhere hear their Power in the Voice, the power of word that has got inside and let them shout it out so they get to know that people are listening to them.
