We regularly run events for family and friends such as our annual Associates' Night, quizzes and Burns' Suppers. ​ In 2009 the Choir was cho...    less

This intercultural Choir comprises fifteen amateur singers from several african countries. It was first establishments in 1996 in Dakar by a group of youth who adored the art of singing.
