Yo Ghana! at Africafest at PSU on Saturday Afternoon

Yo Ghana! will be at Africafest on the South Park Blocks at PSU on Saturday, July 20.  We'll be: talking to people about our projects; recruiting schools, teachers, and groups of students interesting in writing letters to and raising some money for schools in Ghana; selling t-shirts, bags, cards, and stickers to support that work.

Africafest will of course offer much more than vendors: good food, music, and company.  Portland has a large and growing community of people from Africa.  Occasions like Africafest offer them the opportunity to gather and the rest of us a chance to sample a bit of the continent's rich culture and warm friendship.

A special thank you goes to Dr. Kofi Agorsah of PSU, who among his many other duties finds time to help organize this festival.  Dr. Agorsah is also a Yo Ghana! board member and is working to link us to a school in the Volta Region, in the town where he spent so much of his young life.
