LES GUIRETTES
Les Guirettes, are composed of young artists from diverse backgrounds including orphans and
disadvantaged children of Cote D'Ivoire and victims of civil wars from neighboring African countries. Like
Les Guivoires, this younger company lives from the benefits of performance contracts. Ms Guiraud has
insisted that all the members of Les Guirettes are enrolled in school. For this reason Ms.Guiraud has gone
even further by adding a kindergarten and elementary school to her dance school. Today the elementary
school has nearly 150 students. These children also are provided room and board at the school



















Our greatest hope Is that the grand international organizations come to the aid of the Foundation Guiraud
MR, parent organization of Les Guirettes. Its founder, Rose Marie Guiraud, has always realized the need for
international cooperation and is calling out for your aid in the maintenance of this organization which is of
tremendous social importance to the resolution of the African problem Saving the children.

All contracts offered are considered as a gift. Each voyage participates in the education of these dynamic
youth.

Les Guirettes are dancers,
acrobats singers, percussionists
and actors. They possess a rich
repertoire of African Dance
Choreography which is true and
spontaneous, because of the early
age at which they have begun
their art. Art has become their
mother and father and they live it
with love and without condition or
holding back. The genius of these
young artists has been recognized
by UNESCO in naming this school
EDEC (Dance and Cultural
Exchange School), as one of its
Associated schools.
Les Guirettes have
conquered stages in Cote
D'Ivoire, other African
countries and in Europe
and are looking forward to
their American debut in
1999-2000. They need the
help of sponsors,
benevolent groups and
private donations to
continue to realize their
dreams.
