Resurrection From the Rubble September 21, 2010

Virginia Union University (VUU) will host The Resurrection Dance Theatre of Haiti as
they present Resurrection from the Rubble, September 20, 2010 at 7:00pm in the Belgian Theatre on the
VUU campus.
The Resurrection Dance Theater of Haiti, an internationally recognized dance troupe uses
drumming and dance to vibrantly tell their story, as they have done all over the
United States and Canada, dancing in venues such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music for Dance
Africa, and for the Pope at World Youth Day in Canada.
The dancers, all former street children, orphans, or child slaves, are part of the St. Joseph Family,
formed 25 years ago under the leadership of Michael Geilenfeld to bring street children into a family
setting. The family now occupies three homes in Haiti – two for former street children and one for
children with disabilities.
Transformed from being the rejected ones in Haiti to being among the very best of servant‐leaders,
members of the St. Joseph Family have reached out and changed the lives of countless other Haitian
boys and girls. This event serves as a testimony to the children and as a plea to help lift up the St. Joseph
Family from the rubble.
The event is open to the public and donations are welcome. For more information contact Claudia Wall
