Description
Bay Area Acoustic Soul Songstress NKECHI, Evone Garcia, and Radio Africa & Kitchen present Vol 1: The Butterfly Effect on Wednesday April 1st, 5pm - 12am at Project One SF Gallery & Lounge.  "The Butterfly Effect Fundraiser Party" is a soulfully artistic and fashionable, art, fashion, food, dj and live music event created to raise funds for charities that serve women in Africa. Our charity focus this time around is VDay.org and OneMama.org.  NKECHI has collaborated with Evone Garcia, a long time V-Day Organizer as well as Eskender Askeged, founder of Radio Africa & Kitchen, a nomadic African restaurant with sustainable products and methods as well as other event partners and sponsors to make this a night to be remembered.

"If one flap of a butterfly wing can make an impact on the other side of the globe, so can our little BIG party in the US make an impact on the continent of Africa."

ABOUT THE CHARITIES:

Stop Raping Our Greatest Resource, Power to Women and Girls in the DRC.  Violence against women and girls in the family, in a relationship, at school, on the street, in the workplace, during war, still occurs regularly in Africa, Asia and the Middle East with impunity. V-Day works to end this violence by partnering directly with women's organizations in these regions who are working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms changing minds, changing laws, changing lives.
