Ten youth and two staff from Winterveld, a township outside of Pretoria, will present an evening of South African song and story to inform and inspire everyone. Roy Barber, a member of Seekers Church, went to South Africa during the Apartheid era, hoping to bring his song-writing skills to their civil rights struggle. Since then, in partnership with St. Andrews Episcopal School and GWU, a dozen students have come to the US each year to raise money for post-secondary scholarships. Today, more than 70 students from the Bokamoso Centre benefit from these performances.
