VOA Kwanzaa Programming

Looking for Culturally enriching programming for your Kwanzaa Event??? Look no further, we are here and we are ready and willing to take you there. In fact we offer workshops on Kwanzaa, it's origin and meaning and artifacts that make up the entire Kwanzaa program. We can come to your school, college, university, workplace, community center, you name it.

Our workshops include the Kwanzaa principles, Ngozo Saaba, along with dancing drumming and singing in celebration of the African American Holiday, Kwanzaa. It is not a religious holiday but a festival of renewal and re-uniting the African-American family around the 7 Kwanzaa principles.
     We have also discounted many of our program fees to accommodate folks during these difficult economic times.
Thank you so much, and we hope look forward to you bringing us to your area.


Peace and Blessings,
