All,
As some of you know, I am a member of the Literacy Empowerment Action Project (LEAP) for Ghana, which supports a village in eastern Ghana in literacy and girls empowerment work. We are hosting a fundraiser with Nikki Giovanni, who has partnered with us over the last 2 years, TODAY, Tuesday, June 17th from 6pm-8pm at Busboys and Poets (14th & V Street location). At the fundraiser, the Queen Mother of the village will speak, a short documentary of our work will be shown and Ms. Giovanni will give a special reading. A relative of mine purchased a few tickets for the fundraiser, but will be unable to attend. If you or anyone (office interns love FREE) you know is interested in attending, please let me know ASAP.
Thanks!
Lindsay
