Hey kids,
i am planing a Niger food crisis benefit for sept 10th 7-10pm in sterling VA and i am looking for a few performers willing to dance and raise money for people in need. we buy Jewlery from these tribes so i think it is also upto us to try to help them out. all of the tips and money raised at this event will go toward feeding these people in need...
looking for 4-5 solo dancers 5-8 min sets.
please email belladonna@belladonnadance for more info.

These posts about the crisis in Africa relate to this tribe in a number of ways:
1) Yoga: These tribal people need help... consideration and non-violence is AHIMSA... if we see pain and do nothing, that is violence. Maybe this is an extreme viewpoint, but it's the way I feel...
2) Art: As lovers of adornment and beauty we must safeguard these tribal arts and the people who continue the traditions.
3) Dance: this is a cause we can all get behind! This is a reason to dance! Create a hafla! Post photos from Africa Adorned all over the room! Donate your tips! Gather your friends! LET'S GET IT DONE!
4) The Indigo: This company takes it's name from the Indigo dye that's used by the Tuareg people among others, and we've been GREATLY influenced by the arts of these people.
I know you may feel you don't have cash, but think of it this way: your electric bill will be late. Their BABY will be dead. The goat which gives milk to feed the whole tribe will DIE... Their way of life and folk arts will DIE. Which is more final?
Their entire way of LIFE is at risk, and the apathy of the world ushers it on...
