Today, we would like to notice our new event, "Sanyu!". 
This is a first event for us to collaborate with African Dance Group!!
A staff of GBN practices African Style Dance and her teacher got an idea to collaborate with NPO's activity and African Dance.This is a very valuable event because Jembe(traditional West African drum) group performs their music and plays drums for African Dance!
（Many venue can't accept to perform drums...!）

GBN also report our current project in Uganda.

Activity report of ‘Uganda Night’

We held “Uganda Night” on 23rd July at CASACO, Yokohama. Approximately 40 guests joined our event!! We are appreciated that many Ugandan also joined including Ms. Edith Namutebi Nsubuga who is a Counselor/Head of Chancery in Uganda embassy in Japan!

Uganda Night was open♪

Many guests came to CASACO♪

We served a lot of types of drinks such as, Ugandan WARAGI(gin), V&A(sherry), coffee, lemon grass tea, Kenyan beer, black tea, and south Africa wine.

This is a Kenyan beer, TUSKER! 

We prepared Ugandan food, Pilau and Rolex. Pilau is steamed rice with Ugandan spicy taste. Rolex is made with chapati, egg, cabbage, onion, tomato. Egg grilled thin and put vegetables. We rolled egg with chapatti. Roll and Eggs…this sounds like is similar to ‘Rolex’! Taste is actually sooo yammy!

This is a "ROLEX"!
