Caitlyn Banks, National American Miss Georgia Jr. Pre-Teen Queen, starts a new campaign, “One Warm Coat!”
Caitlyn Banks, Miss Georgia Jr. Pre-Teen, is starting a new campaign, “One Warm Coat” to collect new or gently used coats for people in need to keep them warm in the winter. Coats can be mailed to her at 245 Morgan Ranch Cir, Bonaire GA 31005. Caitlyn was featured in the newspaper for this wonderful mission she has started. What a wonderful way to help others!
“Dance Escape” allows Kelsey to give abused, neglected, and abandoned children the opportunity to express themselves through the art of dance. She is teaching them social cultural dances and hopes to further develop into other forms of dance. Kelsey is also spending time with my students in order to build a relationship with them and impact their lives in as many ways as she is able to.
“Dance Escape” allows Kelsey to give abused, neglected, and abandoned children the opportunity to express themselves through the art of dance. She is teaching them social cultural dances and hopes to further develop into other forms of dance. Kelsey is also spending time with my students in order to build a relationship with them and impact their lives in as many ways as she is able to. As of now she is mainly working with two children’s homes in South Carolina: Epworth Children’s Home in Columbia S.C. and The Children’s Attention Home in Rock Hill, S.C. She has spent two hours at Epworth Children’s Home volunteering at their Halloween Carnival and hope to begin teaching them about dance as soon as her project is approved by the activity coordinator. Kelsey has also spent two hours at The Children’s Attention Home; teaching the girls the electric slide, cubic shuffle, the cha cha slide, and Yankedi (an African dance). She is also planning on attending a Bible Study with the girls and hope to learn more about their lives by spending time with them. Kelsey is a dance education major studying how to educate children about dance, therefore she is very passionate about dance and enjoy being around children. Her heart also belongs with orphans and children who have been abused because my family just adopted an 11 year old Ukrainian boy from an orphanage in Ukraine.Her new Ukrainian brother, Sasha, inspired her to begin this organization which allows children to ESCAPE from their troubled life and find confidence in who they are by expressing themselves through dance. She hopes that “Dance Escape” will grow and allow her to teach and impact other lives in more homes across the state.
