For 6 years in a row, WAWAC has been organizing this annual Back to sSchool Get together and picnic for the West African Community in Washington during which we supported families with back packs, school supplies, laptops/tablets, free toys,  gifts and other swags and giveaways as well as the enabling environment for our kids to get to know each other and learn about the positive cultures and the history of their parents birth countries.

It’s also a moment that we celebrate our grandmas and thank them for supporting us to raise our kids according to our tradition and culture. We issue them certificates and provide them with gifts and other entertainment.

We want to make sure we provide enough food, gifts and backpacks to every family that comes to the event. If you register in advance, you will make it easier for us to serve you better and faster.
