Youth Performance for 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate,

Wangari Maathai, Founder of the Greenbelt Movement, participated in a ceremonial tree planting to launch the East Palo Alto Trees Initiative. Gamo Da Paz and Nikko S. Thompson were invited to bring students to the event to perform for the honored guest. Funded in part by the Peninsula Community Foundation’s Emerging Artist grant, Gamo and Nikko provided free after school drumming and dance classes to Eastside College Preparatory students.
