2017 School Supplies Distribution>

African Heritage Celebration provided 3, 351 textbooks to elementary school children during its annual campaign to support education this year, in Senegal.
From October 30 to November 14, AHC visited 22 academic institutions in various parts of the country and delivered the supplies to students between 1st to 6th grade, during ceremonies attended by school authorities, parents and staff.

As the year 2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Omar Dia, an African immigrant who was murdered by racists in Denver, AHC volunteers journeyed to his village of Diorbivol , on November 7 to spend time with his family and provide supplies to all the primary school children in the village. More than a decade of African Heritage Celebration's intervention to support education in communities such as Diorbivol helped increase greatly the success rate and contributed to developing a passion for learning among the children.
Many of those students are now in pursuit of higher degrees and in training to become the next generation of leaders who will further improve and transform lives of their communities.
African Heritage Celebration's supporters and volunteers take great pride of actions that have impacted more than 46,000 students and significantly contributed to their academic grow, but also exposed so many travelers to life-changing experiences in rural communities, where interactions of villagers and visitors provide possibilities to forge solidarity relationships needed to make the world a better place.
