Five community organizations from the greater Richmond area are collaborating on a once in a lifetime opportunity to send 15 local girls to Brazil. The Essence of a Goddess study abroad program will explore the rich cultural traditions of Afro-Brazilian drumming, dance, history, art, and culture. Girls For A Change/Camp Diva, Drums No Guns, Culture4MyKids, Ezibu Muntu, and the Richmond Youth Peace Project will provide some of the funding for the girls to participate in this amazing cultural experience. Each of the girls will raise a portion of the cost for their trip.
