GRONAFEST: Cultural Gala Night
Theme: "Peace and Unity for Longevity of Families and Communities"
Come and join us for a great intercultural event, education and fund raising to serve children here in Mobile, Alabama and Obosi town, Nigeria that truy need access to quality education. This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn about others and give to a cause that will help to better the world for children and families who are less fortunate. The children are our future. We need to provide them with safe and supportive educaional learning environment. By helping to improve their lives, we are improving our lives.
As the theme stated, "Peace and Unity for Longevity of Families and Communities." These days, as the African adage stated, it takes a village (Community) to empower a person, a family, a community and a nation. It will take all of us working together to bring positive changes to our families and communities. We advocate for our children, families, and communities success |
