In collaboration with the Municipality of Beira, YA organised an exhibition of historic photos of the city Beira from 19 - 25 August. Reason was the 103rd birthday of Beira on 20 August 2010.

Around 200 youngsters came to see about a 100 photographs, lent to us by the City Archive of Beira.

On Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th of September the annual Festival de Arte Young Africa, FAYA in short, is being held. WELCOME!

9 Volunteers, 2 group leaders and co-founder Chris from our Irish partner SERVE are currently in Beira to serve where needed. Part 1 of their diary:

So this is Young Africa! On our first night here we were treated to welcoming songs performed by the 12 girls who live full time in the on-campus hostel. Although we couldn’t understand the words, or repay them by singing a few tunes as Gaeilge, it was the perfect antidote to the 17 hour bus journey we had just endured. Our first week as volunteers on the Young Africa campus was a busy one. We had all been looking forward to meeting the founders, Raj and Dorien, and they didn’t disappoint. They are such interesting, engaging people who instantly welcomed us into what has essentially been their home for the last four years. In just one week we have begun to see how their approach to development works.
