Marilyn & Bob Gregory
Livingstone Performing Arts Foundation
Livingstone, Zambia
Bob and Marilyn Gregory, of Hawkestone, Ontario, Canada moved to Livingstone,
Zambia in January 2009 to undertake an unique self-sustaining NGO which
preserves and promotes Zambian culture through excellence in the arts. The
current production is called "Dancing Around Zambia" which celebrates the music,
dance, and songs and ceremonies of Zambia.
NEW CD RELEASE
LiPAF is pleased to announce the release of a new CD of Zambian music called
Chilyoko (It is There). This collection of 13 traditional and original songs
performed by The Rolling Kencheyo band of Livingstone, is a reflection of Zambia
in music and song which challenge social issues, express values and raise hope.
Filled with driving rhythms and full-throated harmonies, the CD also contains a 16
page booklet with lyrics in both traditional languages and English translation. All
proceeds from the sale of the CDs goes to the members of the Rolling Kencheyo.

OTHER LiPAF PROJECTS
a) School Scholarships
In addition to work in the performing arts, LiPAF also sponsors 23 Zambian
students by paying the cost of school fees, uniforms, and educational supplies.
Donations are appreciated.
b) Bore Hole Project
In 2010, LiPAF completed the installation of a bore hole at Linda West Basic School
in Livingstone. This school serving more than 1300 students had no fresh water.
Now, school is no longer cancelled on hot days and Linda West has started a school
agriculture program to feed hungry students and sell produce to raise money for
school projects.
c) Computer Labs and Libraries
LiPAF has opened a computer lab and two libraries in Livingstone schools and
continues to supply books.
d) Sports
LiPAF has sponsored many youth football teams in Livingstone by donating
uniforms and equipment. Currently LiPAF is assisting the Livingstone Pride Youth
Football Club by donating funds to help pay for travel and game official's fees.
