<p>We are a volunteer run, non-profit organization, with a very limited budget. Our policy is that we do not pay for travel to the Canada from other countries. You would need to pay for your own transportation to North America. Performers are not currently paid. Teachers are paid a small amount for teaching workshops. In summary, it can cost a lot of money to come to perform and teach at our AfriCa Fest, and that amount will not likely be repaid in cash. If you have questions or special circumstances, please contact us at: <a>vaccsociety@gmail.com</a></p>=0D=0A=
