Africana Fefeworwor Dance Ensemble mourns the passing of Gamali Banini

Canterbury

Shalom folks from near and far. Our long standing member and dearly loved brother Gamali Banini has tragically passed away this week after a rapidly deteriorating lung condition.

We are devastated by this loss, as are a number of his international friends who have contacted me asking how they can contribute to the funeral arrangements.

As an active and dedicated member of Africana Fefeworwor Dance Ensemble, Gamali should be celebrated in style.

I know many of you would be at the celebrations if you were able to travel, so I have set up this charity page for anyone who feels they want to contribute to the occasion.

We will be performing at the one week celebration of his life this weekend and the final funeral rites once arranged.

As the leader of the group I am in pain and in mourning. I want to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge everyone who is mourning with us, his wife, son and extended family.

Shalom peace, clean heart forever.

Use of funds

Any money donated will go directly to Africana leadership, to cover group transportation and welfare. Additional money will be given to the family of Gamali to help with their other funeral costs.
