The good news is that the djembes made in Ghana that we ordered some weeks ago have now arrived. They are:
These new djembes cost Lm65. All proceeds are in aid of the established local NGO Third World Group.
These djembes are being imported by the Third World Group's fund-raising project called Ritmi through the fair trade cooperative Koperattiva Kummerċ Ġust that runs the world shop L-Arka at 306, St. Paul's Street, Valletta. (2124 4865)

"Our feelings and behaviours towards life develop as a result of what happens constantly to us and around us. It is said that our dreams, visions and feelings are what makes us human. Unfortunately in our Western civilised culture, since our childhood, we are continuously trained to hide them." Eric Edmond Van Monckhoven |

"Rhythm
is everywhere around me, in the way
people move and speak; in the swaying of a baby in his mother’s arms; in the
sound of an idle engine; in the clapping of an audience chanting an
encore; in
the farmer tilling the field on an early morning. Renzo Spiteri
