Here’s a very interesting piece of news which I chanced upon while browsing the net yesterday. It’s about the Dance tour of a group of Filipino children entitled “The Children of Mother Earth Dancing for the Environment,” presented in several cities in California.
Sta. Monica Mirror, May 24-30 issue reports: “Children of scavengers who lived off the garbage of Smoky Mountain, this professionally trained dance troupe is the vision of Fr. Ben Beltran, SVD, Smoky Mountain parish priest, who in 1993 decided to create an ensemble that would depict the importance of taking care of the environment through interpretative dance. His hope was that he would raise awareness regarding environmental degradation."
Fr. Ben Beltran himself shares: "The primary mission of this dance group is to share ideas and insights on saving Mother Earth with other youths whom they feel should be responsible for helping take care of this world and saving it from looming ecological disasters."
