The TenSing group of our YMCA is one of the oldest and most sustained groups in our YMCA. Although, as it was in the previous years, also this year we had some changes in the leaders’ and volunteers’ team, this group was constantly working every Wednesday in the week during the whole year with a constant number of over 20 volunteers. The group is performing YMCA TenSing songs, but it was more focused this year on traditional Macedonian songs. In the year 2006, the TenSing group made huge successes in the work with children groups, and performing together with the theatre group promoted our YMCA and Macedonia on more international and bigger evens. |
