"Celebration of Two Launchings"
Friday, June 5, 1998
Boston Harbor Hotel
Rowe's Wharf, Boston, MA USA.
This event features the historic schooner Ernestina and
author Roland Barth, plus a very colorful "surround" of music and arts, all
to benefit literacy, Cape Verdean culture, education in the Boston metro
area and beyond.
The Ernestina is the Amistad of New England, and you don't have to trek to
Mystic to see her. Hers is the untold story, though. She is the only
official sailing ship of the Commonwealth, according to legislation
approved by the governor back in 1982. Most important, at 104 years old,
she is one of the most famous ships in the world and a National Historic
Landmark!
Roland Barth, somewhat younger than Ernestina, is a renowned educator who
chose this occasion to announce the publication of a great new book because
he wants to support education that is active, fun, and dynamic - and
Ernestina's mission is the same. His wonderful new book "Cruising Rules: Relationships at Sea" is excerpted in the
current issue of Harvard Magazine.

O Testamento do Senhor Napomuceno |
|
|
ONE WEEK ONLY! EXCLUSIVE NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE!
OPENS FRIDAY JUNE 19 |
O Testamento do Senhor Napomuceno
(Mr. Napumoceno's Last Will and Testament)
(Portugal/Brazil/Cape Verde/France/Belgium l997) Directed by Francisco Manso
featuring Nelson Xavier, Maria Ceica, Chico Diaz. Portuguese with English
sub-titles.
Based on a novel by Cape Verdean native/author Germano Almeida (considered one of the best contemporary writers in the Portuguese world), TESTAMENTO is an absoulute treat for the eyes. Shot in the tiny Cape Verdean city of Mindelo, off the coast of West Africa, the film unfolds against breathtaking mountains, desert terrain, endless beaches, and extraordinary light, colors and contrasts. The story centers around Mr. Napumoceno, the wealthiest businessman in Cape Verde. His death in l984 touched everybody in the city of Mindelo-especially his nephew Carlos, who anticipated inheriting his uncle's business and estate. Unfortunately for Carlos, his uncle's life was full of secrets that were only revealed in his will and through the tapes he left for his illegitimate daughter, Graca, the surprise heiress to his fortune. What follows is a light-hearted romp through the secrets, business capers and romantic escapades of the town's most intriguing character. This award-winning film features renowned Brazilian actors, a sensational soundtrack boasting the sounds of internationally acclaimed Cape Verdean musician Tito Paris, and an appearance by world-famous diva Cesaria Evora.

ASSOCIAÇÃO CABOVERDE NA CORACACO |
-Carta de Apresentaçao da Associaçao-
Ola criolos (e nao) da diaspora. Tudo cool ?
A Cabo Verde na Coraçon nasce num momento em que Portugal se reencontra com o seu passado africano - nao para o renegar, mas para se afirmar pela diferença e pela aproximaçao com os povos dos PALOP.
A recente constituição da Comunidade de Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP) é bem significativa desta vontade, mas foi por entendermos que este esforço de aproximação não cabe unicamente às instituições oficiais, que resolvemos criar a Cabo Verde na Coraçon.
A Associação nasceu por iniciativa de um grupo de jovens cabo-verdianos, empenhados, acima de tudo, na divulgação cultural africana e preservaç ão da cultura cabo-verdiana junto das novas gerações, actuando em espaços culturais, bairros de comunidades africanas, associações, etc.
Não participando tanto em actividades culturais como seria de desejar, a comunidade africana em Portugal precisa ser estimulada a fazê-lo, não apenas nos grandes centros urbanos, mas sobretudo onde essa mesma comunidade vive o seu dia-a-dia. Por isso, queremos levar a cultura ao encontro dessas comunidades, através da mFAsica, dança, teatro, exposições, divulgação diversa.
Estamos a trabalhar em muitos projectos para as quais precisamos da vossa AMIZADE , ajuda, colaboração, INFORMAÇÃO, apoio, etc

Pilot Study - Health Care and Disability Services in the Cape Verdean Community |
Northeastern University and The Massachusetts Developmental Disability Council have funded a pilot study to examine access to health care and disability services in the Cape Verdean Community. The study is a two-stage focus group design. Stage-I will gain perspectives regarding services from Cape Verdean Families who have children with disabilities or adults with disabilities. Stage-II will include a variety of providers (i.e. educators, home health care personnel, vocational rehabilitation providers, community advocates and medcial providers) to share their experiences regarding their service delivery system, community outreach and diversity training programs.
A twenty-five dollar honorarium will be awarded to each family and service provider for their participation. Upon completion of the project a Information Seminar will be provided to family, friends, and providers to share our findings, as well as provide informaiton about services to the Cape Verdean Community. If you would like to participate and know family members or service providers who would like to join us please contact William Sanchez at 373-2404, email wsanchez@lynx.neu.edu or Dawna M.
