Try something a little different during your stay at Footsteps. Ask David or Mark for details on arrival.

Footsteps Art

Footsteps has its very own resident artist.

Dodou has been painting scenes at footsteps for many years now, you can commission him to paint anything from a picture postcard to a canvas, he is also available for morning and afternoon tuition.

You never know, you may be the next Rembrandt.

At the end of your day, the painting is yours and/or the artists work is for sale.

Drumming

A jembe is a skin covered hand drum, shaped like a large goblet, and meant to be played with bare hands.

Expert tuition from local drummers is available.

You can make your own for ornamental purposes or make it and play it.

You may just want to learn to play the Jembe drum.

Whatever you decide , do not leave Africa without this learning experience.

Batik & Tie-Dye

You may have thought that Batik and Tie-Dye were only found in Asia.
Here in West Africa and particularly at Footsteps we continue a long tradition in making Batik materials.

You can now take classes with our Batik teacher.

You will make your own Batik to your design, which is yours to keep if you wish.
The Batik can be made into a dress or suit by our skilled local tailor, at a very reasonable cost, or even better the material is tailored and gifted to AFDOW [ The Abubakarr Sidique Foundation for Dawah and Orphan Welfare]. They are a registered charity formed in the village of Gunjur by Abubakarr Sidique in 2003 and care for the needs of 213 orphaned
children [ 117 boys and 96 girls of ages 1-19 years].
