Within the enchanting realms of the “zummer festival feest”, parents, grandparents, and elders from all walks of life gathered to participate in our storytelling workshops. The atmosphere was infused with a palpable sense of love and togetherness, where the beats of African drums intertwined with the mellifluous sound of wisdom shared by Phoebe, one of our team members and a budding storyteller. As the story of Madiba and the Magic Tree unfolded, the "villagers" were transported to a place where languages are unified and connections are formed beyond words.
A young father hailing from Gambia approached our team with sheer delight. Having listened intently to the tales, he discovered that we were serving Baobab juice—a drink reminiscent of his youth in Gambia. Memories flooded his mind as he vividly recalled the joy of sharing this refreshing beverage with loved ones around the iconic Baobab tree. His radiant face mirrored the memories in his eyes, witnessed by his wife Lotte and their beautiful son Hakim Jan.
Our deepest wish for children within our village of Bokobokids, is to experience a beautiful day of Agape, blending the splendor of diversity with the soulful essence of African culture. Recognizing that it takes a village to raise a child, our aim is to meet families where they are, both within our online platform and in physical locations in various countries around the world.
Our deep devotion to children and commitment to community infuses our stories with guided by the wisdom of revered African elders.
