Mr. Geoff, CEO of the Hart House, reiterated that the establishment needs the attention of the society so as to help the very needy children and their very poor parents. He said that funds raised from this show would be able to help the children who are always needy.
"We also need to take care of our teachers who dedicate their time to enlightening those children entrusted to them. We are getting constant help from no where, people should know this. There is therefore need to help us by coming to the show," he says.
He indicated that the entrance fee for adults is D10 and D5 only for children. The band is notable for its entertaining powers in Mandinka and other tribal music to move their audience from bone to soul. The said show will go on from 4:00pm to the wee wee hours only to help the Hart House.
