I received the following message from a board member at Indego Africa, nonprofit taking a social enterprise approach to empowering hundreds of women Rwanda to lift themselves out of poverty. If you're looking for something to do in DC tonight, check it out -- and enter the raffle to win a trip to Rwanda.

Dear Michelle:

I am a Board member of the non-profit Indego Africa, and I wanted to alert you to our fall fundraiser event being held this Friday night from 7-10pm at the Josephine Butler Parks Center in Northwest, DC. Indego is an innovative and entrepreneurial nonprofit built upon the belief that women in Rwanda can become economically self-sufficient. Our annual Ibirori fundraiser is meant to raise awareness of our organization and celebrate Rwandan progress. Maybe you could mention the event on your website?

We believe there will be no better way for DC residents to spend their Friday night. Here are three reasons why:

(1) Rwandan dancing.  If you've never seen a great intore show, you don't know what you're missing.  Come see Amariza N’Amasonga, the best Rwandan dance group in the area!

(2) Good people, good food and good drinks. Indego Africa events attract interesting people from all age groups, united by the common bond of an interest in the world outside our borders. The $45 ticket price will include traditional Rwandan food and an open bar.

(3) Raffle Drawing. We'll be drawing for our raffle grand prize: a trip to Rwanda (or $3000).  Already have a raffle ticket?  Come see if you're the lucky winner. If not, you can get one at reduced price when you buy your ticket.

Tickets and more info are available here.

We would really appreciate your help in promoting this event.

Thank you in advance.
