A Cork school and African tribe are banding together to raise vital funds

The hands-across-the-world project aims to raise funds to educate the children of The Butterfly People, a colourful nomadic tribe in Northern Kenya renowned for its musical tradition.
The tribe has joined forces with a school in the West Cork town of Clonakilty to write and record a hit song for its Thorn Tree Project, a network of educational facilities and boarding schools to house and educate some 1,300 tribal children.
