Please help send Christopher to West Africa

Christopher has his heart set on visiting West Africa for his first time, to experience the culture and to study djembe, but we are falling short of the the funds needed for his trip. Total costs will amount to $4,000 to $5,000, and we are hoping to raise at least half that amount. If we are able to make it happen, then in February Christopher will travel to both Senegal and Guinea, and will have a chance to meet his favorite djembe artist, Famoudou Konate.
