Please join us for an afternoon of fun and sharing at the annual Guinea Kids Benefit Concert, a concert and fundraiser to support children's education in Guinea West Africa. Hosted by Marissa Baratian and the Guinea Kids Education Fund (GKEF).  Abdoulaye Sylla will be joining Karim Koumbassa and friends in a performance of Guinean music and dance.  Other entertainment includes performances by New Discovery School's World Dance classes, an African marketplace, and numerous opportunities to learn more about Guinea and GKEF.

Guinea is a country of beautiful land, people, music, dance, and rich traditions. It is also among the poorest countries in the world with a 59% adult illiteracy rate.

GKEF is an education support project comprised of individuals in the United States and Guinea, West Africa who are committed to enriching the neighborhood of Enco-5 in Conakry, Guinea. Their mission is to assist and empower the community to increase the percentage of children attending and succeeding in school, and to provide the necessary funding for educational resources, school tuition, school supplies, uniforms, and shoes. By forming a cooperative partnership that integrates local traditions and cultures in education, their goal is to improve the quality of life for this community.

There is SO MUCH MORE WE CAN DO ... so PLEASE JOIN US at this next fundraiser, have some FUN and MAKE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE in the lives of these children!
