The NPCA Embassies Program will strive to bring
about a greater understanding of the world, as well as strengthen the friendships
between RPCVs and people from our countries of service.
The Embassies Program will take place
in a different embassy or other venue each month focusing on embassies of
countries where the Peace Corps has served. Each program will explore a current
issue or topic in the featured country from the areas of politics, economics,
business, the arts, culture and/or society. Each presentation is followed
an informal reception hosted by the embassy.
SOLD OUT The NPCA is very pleased to announce the Kingdom
of Morocco as our first country of focus. The Embassies Program event will
take place Wednesday March 12 at 7.30pm at the Residence of the Ambassador.
The event will highlight Moroccan traditional music with Sounds of Morocco’s Mystique. The program will feature the Abdou
El Filali Orchestra performing Moroccan traditional music, including Berber
and Andalusian styles. These masters of violin, oud,
tablas, and tomba will present a selection of vibrant and melodic songs passed
on through the centuries. This event will also include a reception featuring
an array of Moroccan delicacies. This will be an intimate gathering, so space
! is very limited.
His Excellency Mekouar expresses his enthusiasm for the event, “This
will be a great occasion to further the friendship and understanding between
our people.”
In celebration of Gambian Independence Day as well as African American
History Month, the February Embassies Program will be a special event with
the Embassy of the Gambia featuring a fascinating discussion with Anthropologist
Joseph Opala (Sierra Leone ’74-’77) who will present The
Gullah: The African American Connection to West Africa.
This event will take place on Gambian Independence Day, February 18th
at 7pm at the American Red Cross, 1730 E Street,
N.W. in the Ballroom located on the second floor.
