A group of young performing arts enthusiasts from the Amy Foundation will showcase their talent at the 4th<\/sup> annual FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN on Sunday, 20 May 2018.<\/p>\n

Formerly known as the Amy Biehl Foundation, the Amy Foundation <\/strong>was established in 1997 and is a non-profit organisation that specialises in after school care programmes that develop and empower children and youth (5-25 years of age) in challenged and vulnerable communities in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe programmes include literacy, numeracy, HIV\/AIDS prevention, dance, sport, drama, music and many more,\u201d says Zukiswa Tsewu, Arts and Culture Coordinator of the Amy Foundation.\u00a0 \u201cThese programmes are designed to unlock creative talent and supplement the shortcomings of the educational system, whilst keeping the children off the streets and away from the negative influences that are so easily accessible to them. By being part of the FNB Cape Town 12 ONERUN, we are able to give young people from the Gugulethu Township an opportunity to showcase their talent.\u00a0 It also serves as a source of income for the Foundation as we are dependent on sponsorships.\u00a0 All funding raised will go back into the Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2017 event was very exciting for the groups,\u201d continues Tsewu.\u00a0 \u201cThey enjoyed a lot of attention and appreciation from the runners.\u00a0 The vibe was a definite highlight.\u00a0 This year runners can look forward to an energetic, vibrant group of dancers that will collaborate with a Marimba Band, bringing a lovely African vibe.<\/p>\n

Other performing arts groups to look out for will include:\u00a0 AfroBeat, Field Band Foundations and Fairmont High\u2019s Majorettes.<\/p>\n
