The event will be held from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Chilmark Community Center, and will feature music by DJ Di and food from around the world. There will also be a Kenyan market with African fabrics and jewelry for sale plus baskets from a Nyumbani village handmade by local grandmothers. All proceeds benefit street kids and orphans.
