Helping youth to retain their culture and traditions

The Somali BantuYouth Association of Maine has a choir group that performs traditional singing and dance.The purpose of this choir group is to preserve the culture and traditions of the Somali Bantus, and to also create team work among the Somali Bantu youths. We perform different kinds of traditional games during an annual traditional Somali Bantu gathering. During the traditional gathering, we invite the Somali Bantu elders to talk about the traditions of the Somali Bantus so that young children can learn about their traditions and culture.
