Support for the "Petits étoiles" Festival for peace, Gaoua students.
Self-funding: 290 euros.
One more year we have supported the celebration of a small festival in Gaoua, Burkina Faso, in which the little people have expressed, with their own means, their yearnings for peace in their country and have claimed education as a weapon of mass construction. These children are growing up with the terrorist threat from birth (many of them). It is their way of telling the world that they want to grow up in peace, security and teamwork for their future.
In the framework of this Festival, many of these children were able to enjoy the Gaoua Lobi Museum, a reference point in the province of Poni on Lobi culture. They listened to the explanations of the guides, asked many questions, and enjoyed the small Lobi village recreated in the museum to the delight of the young people. They ate, recited, danced and a long list of other activities. We are very proud.
