Our last Rebel Up! party with Maga Bo on the 29th of June was a complete success and the OCCII was fully packed. Big thanks to all of you for being there and making it such a
fun-tastic brilliant night! Also the Igitego Inyange organisation wants to thank you for your support through donations!!!

On Saturday the 25th we will organize yet another night of global fun. The end of summer sadly looms, but don’t return to your desks or classes before you can enjoy yourself at Rebel Up! This time we have no special live guest, though other musical nomads will always drop by unexpectedly and play their special selections. Perhaps our French nomad could bring back some surprises with him.

We have selected War On Want as the donation destination for the proceedings of the night. They are an organisation that fights global poverty in diverse campaigns and projects. Our eyes are fixed on the unrecognised state of Western Sahara, for the cause of the Saharawi people who have been living in exile for over 30 years now. They are forced to live in badly conditioned camps, where water is scarce and the standard of life is far below a healty level. For more info see http://www.waronwant.org/

Keep your change at hand….any donation is a sweet gesture!
