Little Eagles has the support of Mali Pop Star Habib Koite!


After his show at the Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, CT, I had a chance to chat with Mali pop star Habib Koite. I shared with him my ideas for the Little Eagles project, and he loved them. He told me about a clinic he does in Mali that teaches children the importance of washing their hands to prevent diseases. If all goes well, Habib will come to visit the Little Eagles in Mali during our season in January-March 2011 to give his clinic!
