But our maximum seal of participants is 25 people for the start .
 
The nature of the Ethno is project, is designed in such away that it fosters Democracy and leadership skills among the young people. And we all know and agree, that Music is one of those few “languages” understood and appreciated  globally.
 
Our main focus is on the promotion of folk/native music among the youth, and also to groom the youth to love and cherish responsible musicianship and /or art  as a career today.
 
In the long run, To use music as an entry point to integrate health education promotion including HIV/AIDS, Reproductive Health, Malaria prevention and environmental protection, food security which are some of the key issues in Africa today.
