Homecoming for China-trained acrobat
Kenyan coach aims to nurture more talent in Africa, inspire new generation
"African students often blend the acrobatic skills they learn here with their rich cultural heritage, which helps spread Chinese acrobatic arts across the continent in a more diverse form," said Liu Chunxiao, the school's office manager. "I hope these students will continue to foster the traditional friendship between China and Africa."
Before the two-month training program in Wuqiao concludes at the end of this month, Kavita plans to visit his former teachers at the Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe. The troupe is thrilled to learn that the Kenyan students are still very active in acrobatics after all these years, he said.
"This is not the end of my acrobatic journey. I hope to open a school when I return to Kenya to tap more talents. It's challenging but this has always been my dream," Kavita said, adding he believes this is all about creating a shared future.
