Children will use creativity to design & build their own village as they learn drumming, dance, mask-making and West African culture!
Each day brings more fun as students play in a world based on Manjiani, the dance and drumbeats that celebrate life's important occasions and events!  It all ends with an exciting celebration which the community is invited to!
Join us for a last-day performance with costumes and feasting of an African staple food - root stew! Drums, percussion instruments, and costumes will be provided.

- Creating their own masks molded from their own face and giving it meaning
- Creating the meaning of their celebration
