Dear friends and supporters,

We are thrilled to announce that Lawrence Upson, one of the talented Djembe drummers for Kofago Dance Ensemble, has been selected to participate in the "NIUN AK YEEN" cultural festival in Senegal this July! This is an incredible opportunity for Lawrence to showcase his skills and immerse himself in the rich cultural traditions of West Africa.

However, we need your help to make this trip a reality. The cost of travel, lodging, and festival expenses can be a significant financial burden for Lawrence and his family. That's why we are launching this donation campaign to raise funds to support Lawrence's journey.

Lawrence has been a dedicated member of Kofago Dance Ensemble for years, and his passion for West African music and dance has inspired audiences throughout his community. We believe that this opportunity to participate in the "NIUN AK YEEN" festival in Senegal will not only help Lawrence to grow as an artist but will also enrich our local community's understanding and appreciation of West African culture.

Please consider making a donation to help support Lawrence's journey. Every little bit helps, and your contribution will make a real difference in Lawrence's life and the cultural community he serves. Your donation is tax-deductible, and all funds raised will go directly to support Lawrence's travel and festival expenses.

Thank you for your support and for helping us to celebrate and honor the vibrant cultural traditions of West Africa.

Sincerely,

The Kofago Dance Ensemble
