Rented Facility Houses Critical Programs and Services
The Creative Thespians Afrikanas has been a home away from home for many kids and a safe place for the less fortunate. Many of the young people who participate in Creative Thespians come from a humble family background, possibly being raised by a single mother or living in cramped conditions with as many as eight family members living in a single room. The center that Creative Thespians rents serves as an office, a meeting place, a performing arts practice area, and a shelter to the kids.
Securing Rent Provides Stability for Young People
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to pay one year of rent. The stability that this provided was a blessing to the community since the kids will have a safe and comfortable place to practice as well as to rest and study after school.
