Dear Friends,
We are priveleged to invite you all to our first ever JayNii International Folklore Festival slated for August 14-19, 2009. The theme for the festival is promoting unity and development through arts and culture featuring groups from all over the world.
The ultimate aim of the festival is to promote unity through acceptance of one another's culture thereby helping people gain understanding about all cultures, acquire knowledge and develop skills for living in a culturally diverse world.
Understanding culture helps one to show reverence to the past, experience the now and imagine the future. Join us this year as we move together amidst and beyond the music and dance.
Thank you,
Emmanuel Quartey
President
JayNii
