VOICES (Voices Organizing for International Change and Development) is a monthly fundraiser and awareness event featuring international hip-hop music, multi-media presentations, live performances, food and wine! This month will be supporting Amurt, a 501 C3 and a volunteer-led international organization founded in India. Amurt’s work in Kenya has focused on youth and community improvement by creating nine youth resource centers in Nyanza—central and coast provinces—that provide youth with a safe place to meet, sports opportunities, IT classes, language classes, and life skills training that will assist them in finding a job. To date they have trained 135 youth peer educators to dispel myths and stigma associated with HIV and AIDS and have creatively used hip-hop and the arts to educate countless young people about regular HIV testing and sex education.
