BOKAMOSO EVENTS

Each year, from early January to mid February, youth from the Bokamoso Youth Centre in Winterveldt, South Africa come to the Washington, D.C. area as part of the Cultural Exchange and Performing Arts Program.  While here they perform songs, dances, poetry, and tell their stories in a number of different locations.  By early November we will post, on this page, the dates, times and venues for the Bokamoso performances.  Between now and then we have noted an number of important dates related to events and holidays in South Africa.  Check them out.

For more information about the Cultural Exchange and Performing Arts Program contact Connie Sullivan.
