Benefit Concert for Nyasha Mubaiwa
March 13th, 2008
The amazing dancer, singer, musician (and Nhemamusasa North teacher) Kurai Blessing Mubaiwa is a Zimbabwean refugee and permanent resident of Canada. Kurai’s eight year old daughter still lives in Zimbabwe. On February 2, 2008, MaiNyasha (Nyasha’s mom) tragically died at age 28 of Malaria. Nyasha is now being taken care of by her Grandmother who is also caring for her baby sister and three other cousins by herself. Kurai would like to bring Nyasha to Canada and be reunited with his daughter after almost 6 years. This benefit concert will be held to help raise much needed funds for Nyasha’s immigration to Canada.
