On Thursday, September 25 the Tobatana Marimba band played a benefit concert at the Denver School of the Arts (DSA). Carly, a senior at DSA, organized the concert in order to kick-off the fund raising for next years Malaria Eradication Campaign in Botswana. The concert was a success with students and parents from DSA attending and $200 was donated for the purchase of mosquito nets!! We want to thank the members of Tobatana for traveling to DSA after a long day of work and playing for 1.5 hours. Some of the musicians live 50 miles away but they felt strongly enough about this concert to make the effort to be there. The crowd loved the music, danced and learned how serious malaria is in Botswana. Thank you Carly for organizing this event!
