| Marwo at the School Gate
A Somali women’s radio drama
recording group The soap opera being developed by the group is centred around the main character Marwo and her friends that she meets when collecting the children from school. (Marwo has a double meaning in Somali language: it is the name of a woman but also is used as a term of respect when referring to a group of women.) The stories deal with some of the cultural, social, linguistic and environmental issues that Somali women and children have to adjust to in British society. It is also a vehicle for storytelling, traditional songs, and music. The radio programmes will be broadcast by appropriate radio stations and available on cassette. For further information, or if you wish to become involved in the project, please contact Helena, telephone 0207 371 2644. Or write to Horn of Africa Community Group, 190 Shepherds Bush Road, London W6 7NL. You can also read about the project on the Horn of Africa Community Group website. |
