LEAF is a wonderful way to experience the best of life and cultures. Travel the world through music. This unique form of “gathering” transcends elements that divide. Festivals bridge cultures and bring people together in a relatively low-cost, high-impact manner. Collaboration is key. LEAF was imagined for families and friends to be able to travel across the world through music and arts and explore arts while having great times. Whether attending a LEAF Retreat, a LEAF Festival or a virtual LEAF event, you will experience the power of music, art, and culture to transform lives, strengthen community, and foster unity.
Mayani is a Maasai boy from longido Arusha. He went to boarding school at 6 years old and lost his Maasai language and tradition. Since joining the LEAF program, he has learned to sing Maasai songs, practiced the ‘jump’ tradition and wear Maasai shukas (traditional clothing). Mayani is extremely happy and is currently teaching other youth the culture.
