'Jigiya' is a group of people with disabilities in Mali, Africa. This is a short clip of them performing for Peace Corps in Mali in Sept 2007.
Jigiya means "support" or "help" in the local language of Bambara. They share music, dance, and laughter. With the help of Peace Corps Volunteer Stephen Andersen, Jigiya is now connected with the Self-Advocacy Assoc of New York State (SA), a group of similarly-disabled Americans. The two groups exchange regular communication, stories, and support.
