This is my favorite festival of the year.
To mark Africa Day 2012, a range of events are taking place throughout Dublin during the week 20th to 27th May. These include the flagship family festival in George’s Dock; Africa Week Athletics in Morton Stadium in Santry; seminars in Trinity College Dublin and the Royal Irish Academy; and a whole host of other activities.
At today’s launch of the flagship event, Minister Costello was joined by Eamon Gilmore; Lord Mayor of Dublin, Andrew Montague; the Kenyan Ambassador to Ireland, Her Excellency Ms. Catherine Muigai Mwangi; and Salome Mbugua, Director of AkiDwA, the African and migrant women’s network.
