Local show tonight benefits kids in Africa
Matt Fernandes
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Local educator Molly Dyer is hoping to pack the Off Broadway tonight to help her achieve her goal of opening an arts education center in Ghana.

Proceeds from tonight’s show (the Feed, Troubadour Dali and Ocean Rivals) will benefit Dyer’s work with Global Host Project (http://www.globalhostproject.org/) in Cape Coast, Ghana, Africa. Beginning this September, Dyer will provide a multidisciplinary curriculum of arts programming to orphaned children in Cape Coast, including those orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, other comparable health concerns and severe poverty. The mission of the programming will be to offer a positive form of communication and expression to these children, to build a cohesive community through artistic expression and to foster a life-long love of the arts.

Founded by a Ghanaian and an American who met in Ghana, Global Host Project’s mission is to promote peace and friendship among individuals of different nations through direct contact with local culture in the form of volunteer opportunities and cultural exchanges.
