For close to a decade, Aisha Diori has been supporting education in West Africa through her nonprofit organization, Africa Everything. The organization has over the past eight years provided scholarships to students in schools in five countries across West Africa, renovated school buildings and provided school supplies to students. With a unique twist, funding for the projects comes from the annual Africa Everything Afro Chic event organized by Aisha Diori for members of the African and Carribean communities in the US. But how successful is this approach to fundraising? Aisha Diori tells us more about that and the goal for this year's Afro Chic event set for July 28. (Click here for tickets). And a South African restaurant serves up a 9-foot-long popular Cape Town sandwich known as the Gatsby.
