BaoBao Foundation

BaoBao Foundation BaoBao Foundation's mission is to educate, strengthen and empower our local and broader communities through the West African Arts.

The BaoBao Foundation Board came together during the summer of 2014 to bring several separate initiatives together under one roof. Here are a glimpse of our different projects and initiatives :

BaoBao Festival was started in 2004 by Adjei Abankwah. As a former member of the Ghana National Dance Ensemble for 11 years he founded the Festival as a way to bring the culture, stories, dances and songs

of West Africa to communities across the Front Range. BaoBao Festival brings talented professional artists to Colorado each March for several events that take place in theaters, libraries and schools. The BaoBao Library Project began in 2011 with the idea to convert a vacant piece of land in the community where Adjei's family resides, into a library and computer lab. Since then we have raised over 17,000 dollars, collected thousands of books and constructed a large portion of the library building. We hope to open the library in the summer of 2015. BaoBao Travel encourages people to visit Ghana and experience the culture first hand. Discovering Ghana with BaoBao Travel will allow you to experience Ghana in a very authentic way through home stay, eating amazing local dishes, learning drum rhythms and taking dance classes at the University of Ghana, and volunteering for the BaoBao Library Project. Mokomba Ensemble is a Boulder based performance group presenting traditional and contemporary works of African drum and dance from countries across the continent. They are available to perform throughout the year. Educational Outreach is a huge part of BaoBao Foundation's work. We want people to get to know Ghana and West Africa. We want people to be aware of the richness of West African culture, we want people to know its countries, its culture, its art, its people, its history. From this, we hope to build a community of people here in Colorado who are knowledgeable, who are aware and who will share their knowledge.
