Warriors from The Thorn Tree Project to dance at TR Suite 504
Tuesday April 26th.
The
story of the Thorn Tree Project is a story of how, against all
odds, the nomadic people of Sereolipi in the northern arid lands
of Kenya, through hard work, resourcefulness and with a little
help from the outside world, have begun to create significant,
meaningful and measurable change by providing education for
their children.
On Tuesday April 26th Samburu Warriors will be representing
the project in an exclusive performance in our showroom 5PM
to 7PM
Tucker Robbins Showroom Suite 504
in The New York Design Center
200 Lexington Ave. NY NY 10016
You can also take a look at some of the things the warriors
have been doing if you “fan” us on our new Facebook
