My son would love one of these drums. We just started our adventures in homeschool and would love to use this for music and movement.
What a lovely giveaway.
I put your button up on my sidebar. :)
Oh I want one! My brother(when I was a youngster)was stationed in Ethopia in the late '60's and he brought back I remember some real neat stuff for my mom. These drums brought that memory back to me.
I love these. Thanks
How fitting.. drums as communication on a blog full of information. A lovely concept.

Love those beautiful drums. Tapping out a beat is a great reminder of how others are suffering over and over all over the world.
I added a post on my site about the operation. good luck to you all!
Oh! I also added the button.
I am so happy to find your blog and to find that you are sharing about Eddie Cross's reports! I have been sharing via Facebook and Plurk. I have family members in the UK who used to live in Zim (and a number of other South African countries) - visited them last year. I have been praying for Zimbabwe & follow Eddie's reports...
God bless you! Thanks!

I was just in Zimbabwe at the beginning of the cholera epidemic. I will never forget the sound of drums which could be heard somewhere in the village from sunrise to sunset. I have never seen such beautiful smiles ... not dimmed by the godawful circumstances they have to endure.

Drums are the heartbeat.... drummers feel the magic.
Along with the Sun, and the rain, stars and moon, water from heaven, the Earth's soil of plenty, and Nature's beauty, we need the drums.
Fortunate and blessed are those who can hear and look upon these treasures of art, symbols of life and souls.
