NWAG hosted its 5th annual WAZOBIA Sunfest this year on August 2nd 2008. Through the WAZOBIA Initiative, NWAG achieves its objective of sharing and showcasing our rich cultural heritage with our Outreach Program with the hope of bridging the gap between the Nigerian and the Americanculture. The WAZOBIA Sunfest is a one day summer camp open to all children between the ages of 5 – 15 to learn in a fun, but structured environment about the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria. The children learn about the history, languages, education system, ethnic groups, traditions, arts, craft and other cultural aspects associated with Nigeria, all of which they are tested on, before the end of the day. Thepresentation is a variety of age appropriate activities from a Social Studies-curriculum based powerpoint presentation, fashion show, show and tell cultural display, folktale and story telling, interactive questions and answers session, depending on the audience, of which every one in attendance is captivated with thefun,educative, cultural experience!
