World Refugee Day 2009

Wellington Batucada will perform at the Kids4Kids event acknowledging World Refugee Day which is recognised globally on June 20. This year’s theme from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is Real People, Real Needs.

The day is designed for kids between the ages of 5-12 to ‘take them on a trip around the world’ and learn about different cultures, teaching them about refugees and humanitarian issues and have lots of fun while doing it.

This event is on Saturday 20 June, from 10am to 3pm. Wellington Batucada plays (and the dancers dance) at 12 noon.
