This event is a fundraiser for HABESHA Inc's Black To Our Roots Program. Black To Our Roots is a youth leadership and rites of passage program that promotes cultural education, media production, community service, and fundraising. This year-long program provides youth with the tools to effect positive social change in their local communities, while contributing to the unity and development of the global African community. The program culminates in a 4-week travel study to Ghana and Ethiopia in which students apply their learning to community service projects and exchange ideas with African youth.
