NELSON COUNTY, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- Members of the Nelson County Community Senior Center and the Presidential Precinct's Mandela Washington Fellows, a group of 25 emerging leaders from across Sub-Saharan Africa, connected through music and conversations on Wednesday.
"It was a way to bridge and to connect to one another over the joy of music, over the joy of movement, and some of the differences that we may see in others in our community and others on the other side of the world. Relationships can be established and joy can be found by just coming together," said Emily Foreman, the senior nutrition program manager at JABA.
The Mandela Washington Fellows also learned about JABA's mission.
"JABA was selected as part of this program that these fellows are participating in as an opportunity for them to learn about agencies like JABA and what we do for the community and what services we support and programs we provide for older adults and their families," said Foreman.
