Bringing gifts for the people who you will be coming in contact with - clothing is always good, but also things like perfume, shoes (most everyone there wears flip flips day in and day out, so sneakers, light hiking boots, etc are very good), games, soccer balls, etc...  All clothes, shoes, etc. can be used and will be appreciated - but if you find a good sale, bring some new items, too - people will praise you for many years when you do this.  Remember, Africa is a 3rd World Country. Be Gentle.

Greetings to all Seekers of Rhythm, Dance, Adventure and Change. Ryan Edwards here from Like Water Drumworks in Michigan, USA, very pleased to post information on our 7h annual trip to Centre Illymanya, in Guinea West Africa, March 2008.

Located in the forest above Kindia, our trip offers drum, dance and balafon lessons 5 days a week, teachers in residence (veterans of Ballet Hamanah), traditional hut accommodations, and experienced, professional guidance. 
 

Please consider joining us in March 2-March 24, 2008 at Illymanya. Our full price of $2000 includes your visa, drum dance and balafon classes 5 days a week, food, lodging (double occupancy), transport in Guinea, a weekend on Rume, a djembe yours to keep, vehicle access to Kindia 24/7, and the guiding hand to what is sure to impact your life in important ways.  For a total of $3,700 we will also provide you with your round trip Airline ticket (Airfrance) from Detroit to Conakry, Guinea and get your travelers insurance.
