Dear Dennis

Thank you for letting us play on the drums. It was excellent and I liked the feelings on the drums. It was excellent beats and excellent rhythms. It was fantastic.

Thank you

Dear Dennis

Thank you for coming in and sharing your music with us it was really great fun. I hope you will come again. The best bit that I liked was when we all played at the same time.

Dear Dennis

It was excellent to learn the drums when I played it was great. Do you always do that in Africa? All those drums where do you keep them? Do you teach other children in Africa? How come it never hurts your hands? Do you play those rhythms in Africa? Because you're very good. What do the children do anyway? I had a fantastic time it was brilliant.

Thank you for teaching me.

Thank you so very much!

Dear Denis

Dear Denis,

Thank you for comming to present the African Experience day to our school. It was wonderful for the children to have so much information about another culture. You certainly helped them to understand many facts of life in Uganda with the variety of experiences you offered them: stories,music, songs, language, games, the meaning of traditional practices and the wonderful artfacts you brought. The children really enjoyed being able to sepak swahili and playing the drums, as you will see from the letters.

Although the whole day day was excellent, we particularly enjoyed the drumming because it was exciting and you tought us so much in such a short time. Every child was able to archieve and was totally involved. We look foward to working with you again.

Mary, Deputy Head.
