“African Night” was held in CASACO which is
renovated old folk house located in Yokohama.
This event was organized by two NGOs which
are Connection of the Children (CoC) and Global Bridge Network (GBN). We
planned this event to feel closeness to Africa because many Japanese don’t have
opportunity to know about Africa.
