Thursday Challenge : Hands

What marvelous things are our pair of hands.
Have you ever wondered what it is like to have no hands?
In some countries in South east Asia,
They smuggle children, break their hands and make them beggers.

Yesterday, my principal Mrs. Sandra Aitkens treated us to a magical musical trip to "Africa." All the staff members were given a djembe drum to play. Play we did, because we have hands. Our musical director, Mr. Chris Moore arranged for Rhythm Interactive to show us play. We also had fun.

John showed us the connection of our brains and our hands. It teaches positive thoughts, Yes I can, Yes, I can.

A djembe (play /ˈdʒɛm.bɛ/ JEM-be) (also spelled djembé, jembe, jenbe, djimbe, jimbe, or dyinbe[1][2]) is a rope-tuned skin-covered drum played with bare hands. According to the Bamana people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes from the saying "Anke djé, anke bé" which translates to "everyone gather together in peace" and defines the drum's purpose. In the Bambara language, "djé" is the verb for "gather" and "bé" translates as "peace".[3]
