Rwanda Benefit Dance Party at Soho

By janet on April 14, 2014 in WD Activities

As the remembrance of the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide drew to a close, World Dance for Humanity invited the community to a Rwanda benefit at a favorite Santa Barbara dance club. It was an amazing night of non-stop dancing to the irresistible funk-soul sound of SOULBISCUIT… and we raised a total of $1,500, toward the purchase of two full-grown, pregnant cows for the Tubeho sub-group in Never Again Fellowship. These cows will change the lives of the community, providing desperately needed milk for children and fertilizer for crops.

THANK YOU SOULBISCUIT, SOHO’S, AND DANCERS!!! Get your love beads ready for our next Soul Funk Soho party in August!

: Justin Bisengimana in Rwanda: “This was a superb event dear Janet. With only photos I can tell how beautiful and moving it was. I am glad you name the cow after the band’s name. I hope they are so much happy and this will build such strong memories in their lives.”

: Ed Diamond (SoulBiscuit Lead Singer): “All my life I dreamed of having wealth to help others in true need. I never acquired the riches but World Dance has allowed me to fulfill that dream and that enriches my soul to the bone. “

: Steve Altomare (SoulBiscuit Bass Player): “Thanks so much Janet. I know the band agrees when I say it was a great night and we were again honored to be part of the amazing work you all do for a great and proud people who appreciate it so very much. We love you and the whole World Dance crew. We loved playing at Soho’s and look forward to doing it again soon!”

: Whitney Fink: “Saturday night at Soho was such a blast! SoulBiscuit has it going on and we can’t get enough! It was such a crowd pleaser when they played Thriller live and we zombified! Very fun crowd; everyone looks so happy to dance and be there and the costumes make it even more fun for me. I will always look forward to these fun-raisers and help spread the word and the joy for a very important, sustainable cause.”

: Kira & Diana: Thank you, SoulBiscuit for another great rockin’ night for a great cause!!! Changing lives one 70’s song at a time! Whoo!

: Jennifer Schwarz: “Oh, what a night! So much fun being at Soho, rocking with my World Dance family and friends. Such an awesome group. Thank you Soulbiscuits for keeping the music flowing and the energy hot. I had a great time!”
