I find that there times where such attributes need to be made mention of in society, that as younger people, we find  source of inspiration to further and better our stances in life, through events like KIDA. It was wonderful seeing a variation in age at the event and even more so having fun together, dancing the night away!

It really was a heart warming feeling, the hospitality and atmosphere was something to remember.

Thank you to KIDA and  Louise Deini for inviting Africanlife.
