  • Talent-ED

    Talent-ED is an event organized to showcase and promote artistic talent among the children of the African Diaspora in the United States. A children’s talent competition, the show is a true celebration of African children born and/or living in the United States who dedicate some time after school to learn or develop any artistic skills.

    Organized by Racines Heritage Foundation (RHF), Talent-ED aims to raise funds and generate support for the Racines Heritage Scholarship Program, awarding scholarships to orphans and children in poverty-stricken communities in Africa. It is an event for empowerment, compassion and solidarity. 

    Talent-ED will be held on Saturday July 10th, 2010 at the Hilton Hotel in Silver Spring Maryland, from 1:30pm to 4:00pm.

    All proceeds from ticket sales and donations will be allocated to RHF scholarship program. RHF will also hold a school supply drive during the event. Guest are encouraged to bring any school supply material to support this initiative which will make a difference in the lives of many children in Africa.

    Racines Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing education, primary health care, and improving the quality of life of communities in Africa in extreme poverty, especially women and vulnerable children.
