Getting Started

The project called Footsteps to Ghana is an initiative of the Baobab Tree Youth Performers. They will travel to a tiny village in Ghana, West Africa for several weeks of cultural exhange, drumming, and dancing. The group consists of 15 Canadian teens who perform rhythms and dance in the west African tradition. Kathy Armstrong, the dynamic and talented musical director of the group, will be assisted during the trip by parent chaperones.

Fundraising for this trip began one year ago. A keen group of parent volunteers, family, friends, and supporters have been working hard to raise the $40,000 required for food, lodging, and courses in their host village.
