I am orgnanizing a Reggae Peace Festival next summer and making contacts with my RAW brethrens and sistrens. This reggae peace festival will be in honor of the youth and future of tomorrow. Some of the proceeds will be going to summer youth camps which bring together Jewish and Palestinian kids between 8- 14 years of age . For three weeks during the summer these youths do a number of extracuricular activities outdoors, art, drama and fun things kids do in summer camps. Upon arrival there exists much animosity amongst the children considering the beliefs which have been indoctrininated into their minds. By the end of their stay. they leave the summer youth program with strong ties and crosscultural friendships. Bands which will be performing are Reggae Legends such as Burning Spear, Alpha Blondy, Israel Vibrations, Jimmy Cliff, and other reggae artists from Jamaica. As I organize this event I am in need of any suggestions, sponsorship, artists, arts and crafts, coordinators, criticism, and people which have experience working and putting together such festivals. I hope to hear from anyone interested including RAW members. Blessed Be and please contact me at; islandreggae@hotmail.com or rmg18@humboldt.edu 707-442-3857 and ask for Island. Much Love and Respect Everytime. Jah Bless, Ras Island Roots Galambos [4] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
