Storytelling with Saxophone from South Africa

Okay, I did not understand the words, but is this really fundamental to feel the story?
Take a look at this video, that is a true proof that stories are something able to break the common obsession with letters and meanings.
Telling stories is a way to share emotions and dreams, hope and feelings.

Storytelling from South Africa

Okay, this is wonderful to me, this is the true way to support, educate and inspire children and young people, as the Channel's presentation says.
I think that this is also the best use of a library (the Thembalethu library in our case): a full of kids space with a clever storyteller. And Nokugcina is the librarian too, so that is perfect.
From the Channel description: Za Foundation's Channel serves to update it's subscribers and donors about it's work in South Africa and the UK. Za Foundation aims to support, educate and inspire children and young people in Nkomazi, South Africa by building long-term, mutually beneficial connections between their communityand our own in North Somerset.
Here is the video.
