The Voice of Africa (VOACA for short), is an organization which stands as an advocate for African culture through dance, music and song. VOACA strives to provide educational opportunities for its members by granting scholarships that are funded by donations and fund raising events. They have performed at campus events at both BYU and UVU as well as community events and fundraisers.
The members of The Voice of Africa were practicing for the 4th of July Parade in which they marched the next day. We were pleased, and rather refreshed to see such a great display of culture and passion on our property. Among the members of the group were some of our current residents.
The VOACA is currently applying for a grant with the "Nike Back Your Block" program for additional funding for their organization. If you're interested in getting involved, and/or learning more, visit their website at www.thevoaca.com.
To The Voice of Africa and its members...thanks for stopping by.
