Dear Friends,
Greetings from Tanzania!
Preparations for Imuka
Singers USA tour of 2012 are already in full swing!
The tour starts on the
15th of September through
December 12, 2012.
Introduction:
Although you may not have worked with Imuka Singers in our last
USA tour, chances are some of your friends in your community helped us to
have an amazing experience. The tour was a huge success which opened many doors
not just for performers but also for the people of Tanzania and East African communities who have long
wished to have a meaningful and mutually rewarding relationship with the
American communities.
We are building on the successes Imuka achieved in the
last tour to make a much bigger and more successful 2012 tour. Imuka
is requesting to partner with you. I
hope this introduction and the attached flyer,
video links, and the information on the Website (www.imukasingers.org) will give you
an understanding of our holistic mission and purpose and how together we can
enrich both our communities and yours.
Imuka Mission:
Imuka
singers use the platform of choral music to promote sustainable economic
development in their communities, and
to foster cultural ties with the world. Using concert venues as market outlets, the choir
sells local merchandise from weavers and handicrafts makers in rural Tanzania.
A significant portion of the revenue is used for micro-grants for women and
youth and to support social projects, such health and education in Bukoba,
Tanzania.
We are ready to confirm
performances in your community!
Please give Jessica Newhouse, Imuka tour coordinator
a call. Her email is: jessica.imuka@gmail.com | Tel:
612-751-8870. Or you can email me at smart.imuka@gmail.com | Tel 612 227.0065.
We
look forward to partnering to glorify God and foster our diverse cultural
understanding with you!
Thank
you,
In Christ, In Service,
PS:
Touring with Imuka this time is the Regional Commissioner (Equivalent
of the Governor in the USA) of Kagera Region! We are honored that Imuka
is now recognized as a "national Choir" and designated by national
leaders as "East Africa Cultural Ambassador"!
Tupo pamoja mpendwa
