Refugee and immigrant awareness is a worldwide issue mirrored in the United States. Crocodile River Music performs concerts in schools and the community to educate New England about African culture, while also offering a cultural ambassador program to assist young African refugees. The goal of this project was to provide a platform for African refugees and immigrants to share their stories and to inspire and empower the refugee and immigrant community of Worcester. In addition, our intent was to provide a resource for Crocodile River Music to promote awareness and acceptance of African culture in the region.
