Sanyu!_No2 was held at Calabash: African
restaurant on June 9th Sat.
This is the second event of Sanyu! That was
held the last August, 2017.
‘Sanyu’ means ‘Happy’ in Luganda, one of
the languages spoken in Uganda. Despite of the many challenges such as poverty
in Africa, there are so many rich cultures such as dynamic dance, colorful
fashion, fashionable craft etc.
At the Sanyu! event, we mainly aimed at our
participants getting that feeling and enjoyment towards the mentioned aspects
above.
