for African women farmers at the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw. Here is the
info and invitation. Please come out and support this very worthy cause with
great music by local Afro-Pop sensation Kairaba!
Saxapahaw Benefit Concert for African Women Farmers:
Nourishing communities from North Carolina to Africa!

Let's raise the roof of the Haw River Ballroom in joyful celebration as we
harness the power of our local community to make lasting global change! This
is a family-friendly event.

Join musicians Diali Cissokho & Kairaba!, and other local NC artists for an

concert and community space. And support central African women farmers working
toward ending hunger and malnutrition in their families and communities.

Location: The new Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, NC

Tickets: From $10 - $100. There are different levels of support. The more
you can spend the more women farmers and their families we can help.
You can buy tickets on line or at the door the night of the event.
Tickets avialable here http://www.hawriverballroom.com/event/58125/

We will include a brief and moving visual storytelling of how powerful women
from the Central African Republic are organizing themselves as better
farmers. Women, as mothers, have a unique investment in their families'
nutrition. Because nutrition is foundation for life, they are ready to get
right down to the business of growing more nutritious food and more of it.
Unfortunately, women have less access to resources (better seeds, adequate
farming tools, and best practices training) and we are trying to remedy that
with this benefit.

More about the performing artists:

Diali Cissokho & Kairaba! , is a Senegal to North Carolina musical
collaboration with an infectious sound. Full of unison melody, adventurous
improvisation, fiery solos and polyrhythmic frameworks, they incite spontaneous
dancing by the performers and audiences alike, helping to create a peaceful,
loving and joyful community.

Acclaimed local storyteller Louise Omoto Kessel and her son, Jabu Graybeal on
percussion will be featured along with Saxapahaw's Paperhand Puppet
Intervention.
Giant puppets will be on display for a parade and dance during the music.

Also featured will be the uplifting, powerful gospel voice of Chatham
County's Beverly McLean, featured artist of the locally grown Community Music
Project.

Stick around and be treated with a special song by your favorite women
farmers- Yes! they can also sing! in solidarity with their farm sisters
around the world.

All proceeds will be given directly to the women, through the wise direction
of Nanga Kaye - Cary, NC based agronomist, activist and native of Chad,
central Africa. Nanga works under the auspices of ICDI, Integrated Community
Development International, a non-profit, non-governmental and
no-denominational faith based organization presently working in central
Africa. ICDI has 501(c)3 status in the USA as well as tax-exempt NGO status
in the Central African Republic.

Thank you for all you do in our local and global community to inspire peace,
joy and positive change for the earth and all her inhabitants!


Hope to see you and yours at the show,
The Paperhand Crew
