Rotary brings ‘A Taste of Africa’ to Honesdale

HONESDALE, PA — The Honesdale Rotary’s “A Taste of Africa” fundraising event at Himalayan Institute Main Street on March 14 attracted over 100 people, from as far away as Cameroon in West Africa and as near as Hawley. The African cuisine included Jollof rice, fried plantains with peanut sauce, puff puff, mango pie and lemongrass tea. Guests were entertained by live African drumming by Obi Kaye throughout the evening, and participated in a tournament of a Cameroonian game of Mancala.

This event kicked off the campaign to raise funds for the Kumbo Public Library Project in Cameroon, Africa. A benefit raffle is ongoing. Raffle tickets are available through local Rotarians.
