Form 990, Part III, Line 4d	OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Outreach Events: As stated earlier, the mission of the Washington West African Center is to connect West Africans in Washington with local resources and bridge the gap between us and the wider community. In that regard, there is no better resource than information because information is power. As such, through partnership with different institutions such as the Washington State Department of Health, Verdant Health Commission, Washington Immigrants Solidarity Network (WAISN), Washington Community Alliance, Washington State Department of Revenue, Snohomish County office of Social Justice etc, WAWAC has empowered our community with information that enabled our community members to make informed decisions about their lives and livelihood. Since our inception in 2017, we have implemented outreach strategies communicated in languages most spoken by West Africans about different subject matters such as the 2020 census, the 2021 Child Tax Credit, PEBT, COVID-19, the Washington Immigrants Relief Fund (WIRF), Domestic Violence, the Working Families Tax Credit and other related subjects. Our ongoing outreach activities included immigration, environment, climate change, general health and wellness, marriage, relationships etc. We use music, drama, poetry, community leaders and testimonies of beneficiaries and victims to inform our people. Through these efforts, over 3000 West Africans were counted by the 2020 Census, over 1500 benefited from the PEBT and Child Tax Credit and over 5000 received the COVID-19 vaccine. We also partnered with the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) and over 50 other organizations to do outreach and application assistance on the Washington Immigrant Relief Fund (WIRF). This project was funded by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). The WIRF outreach campaign involved the creation of songs in multiple languages, along with music videos for each of the songs. The campaign also produced skits and interpreted uniform messages in eight different languages. Through our collective efforts, about 116,000 immigrants received about $3,100 each. At the end of 2022, we partnered with the Washington State Department of Commerce?s Office of Crime Victim Advocacy (OCVA) and Washington State Department of Revenue to do outreach on Domestic Violence and the Working Families Tax Credit. As usual, because the West African languages are not written, we produced several audio visuals in the different West African languages to raise awareness about DV and introduce the new Working Families Tax Credit. Importantly, WAWAC also carries out outreach activities during our own events as well as events organized by our partners. During these events, we post banners, distribute brochures and flyers and make important announcements. We also did outreach on the said subject matters at our annual Sukuri Ndogu for the seniors.

	Special Events: (1) MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES - In 2022, WAWAC Executive Director Pa Ousman Joof, joined other community leaders from across the United States and beyond for the Post Covid Housing First Partner Conference, the Washington State annual Public Health Conference, The WIRF Conference and the School?s out Washington annual Bridge Conference. At all these conferences, the WAWAC ED championed racial, immigrant, housing and health justice. On November 4th, 2022, our ED Pa Ousman Joof joined other community leaders and stakeholders in South Snohomish County for a networking event organized by the Verdant Health Commission. Over 40 organizations and 5 funding partners attended the event, and the WAWAC table attracted a lot of attention. We displayed traditional West African musical instruments such as the Djembe, Balafon, Kora, Kalimba, Rattle, and Leket, giving attendees an opportunity to try them out. This generated important conversations about culture, history and heritage. (2) ANNUAL BIDEWW ARTS EXHIBITION AND TALENT SHOW - On Friday December 30th 2022, WAWAC held our 1st annual BIDEWW/STAR ARTS EXHIBITION AND TALENT SHOW at the NEEMA Church in Everett from 4pm to 7pm. WAWAC's BIDEWW/star after-school program and homework club seeks to create a culturally appropriate fun and new learning environment that fosters social skills, and provides learning opportunities for our kids through exciting structured activities at a culturally appropriate setting for free of charge. It is for parents whose kids need help with homework or to learn other life and social skills and they don't have the time to help them. This is also a platform for West African kids to interact, learn from each other and build their own community. It is available to school-aged children 5 to 13 years old in Snohomish and King County twice a week. For the past year, our counselors/tutors have been working extremely hard to support these kids with their homework, teaching them life and other social skills while giving the parents a much needed break. Most excitingly, the kids were also able to create their own song that dispels Domestic Violence. Since they close for the Mid-Winter break in late December and the kids were out of School while the schedules of their parents did not change, we deemed it necessary to engage them with different activities during the break including field trips, movie night and this arts exhibition and talent show. An opportunity for them to showcase their arts projects and other skills. This is also a moment for the parents to see what their kids have been working on in the past year! An experience for a jam packed evening of fun with a variety of West African food, a special performance by the Gansango West African Drumming and Dance Group, the WAWAC Bideww Choir, and display of the different arts & talents by the West African kids. We also did outreach on the Working Families Tax Credit, Domestic Violence and the Working Families Tax Credit. (3) BACK TO SCHOOL GRANDMA APPRECIATION DAY - Our Back to School program is earmarked towards empowering the community to actively participate in preparing the kids of the community to return to school after the summer break. The WAWAC Back to School event aimed to create an environment for kids of West African descent in Washington to interact with one another and learn the uplifting cultures from their parents' birth countries. We believe this activity is important in fostering family values and also mentally preparing the kids for the impending school days that lie ahead. 2022 was the 6th year that WAWAC organized such an event. It was held at the Willis D. Tucker Community Park on September 3rd 2022. It was attended by over 350 people including West African grandmas, kids, and community members. (4) ANNUAL BIDEWW ARTS EXHIBITION AND TALENT SHOW - On Friday December 30th 2022, WAWAC held our 1st annual BIDEWW/STAR ARTS EXHIBITION AND TALENT SHOW at the NEEMA Church in Everett from 4pm to 7pm. WAWAC's BIDEWW/star after-school program and homework club seeks to create a culturally appropriate fun and new learning environment that fosters social skills, and provides learning opportunities for our kids through exciting structured activities at a culturally appropriate setting for free of charge.

We also did outreach on the Working Families Tax Credit, Domestic Violence and the Working Families Tax Credit. (5) BIDEEW SUMMER CAMP In 2022 - WAWAC organized a highly successful BIDEEW Summer Camp (The Summer version of the after school program) designed to bring together West African children as a community. The program included a variety of activities designed to promote teamwork, education, and fun, with field trips serving as both a learning opportunity and a way to foster friendship and camaraderie among participants. Throughout the camp, children are able to engage in hands-on learning experiences while developing their social and communication skills. The program included field trips to several local destinations, including Alderwood Mall, North Lynnwood Park, Forest Park in Everett, the Lynnwood Recreation Center, McDonald's, and Whidbey Island. Additionally, 24 students participated in the Mission Africa summer camp in Renton, providing an opportunity for cultural exchange and further skill-building. WAWAC is proud to have provided a safe and engaging environment for West African children to learn, grow, and have fun during the summer months of 2022, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community in this way.

	Covid 19 Advocacy & Campaign: The mission of the Washington West African Center WAWAC is to connect the West Africans in Washington with local resources, bridge the gap between us and the wider community and culturally socialize West African children in a value driven way. Our mission aims to establish a pedestal that enables West Africans discover their full potential and facilitate communication through the use of modern information technologies and works of art for the discovery and realization of their talents. We have carried out major advocacy efforts about different subject matters such as the Child tax credit, PEBT and COVID-19. We use music, drama, poetry, arts, and testimonies to inform our people. Through these efforts, over 1000 benefited from the PEBT and child tax credit. WAWAC led efforts to ensure that families in the West African community are also availed with opportunities such as bill payment, rent assistance and grocery assistance packages. These programs were run with the objective to mitigate the devastating effects of COVID on our community, many of whom work with vulnerable populations such as adult family homes. With the introduction of vaccines, we organized vaccine clinics in places like Monroe State Fair Ground, Islamic Center of Puget Sounds, Snohomish County and at our office in Lynnwood. In the past year, WAWAC successfully organized and conducted five COVID-19 vaccine clinics, administering vaccines to 400 West Africans residing in the State. Alongside the University of Washington Capstone students in public health, WAWAC produced three advocacy videos for COVID-19 and printed T-shirts and banners with informative messages about the vaccine. The team also promoted vaccine awareness through live-streaming videos and distributed self-test kits, sanitizer, and face masks at all its 2022 events. Furthermore, WAWAC actively encouraged people to get vaccinated and emphasized the importance of vaccine uptake. At the beginning of 2022, supported by the Washington State Department of Health, WAWAC did outreach on the COVID-19 vaccine to dispel myths, misconceptions and misinformation about the vaccine. We also continued our outreach efforts to encourage different demographics of the community to get vaccinated. We created outreach materials when kids 5 years and up as well as younger kids were allowed to take the Vaccine.
