For the eighth year, student musicians in Northbrook School District 28 performed for their families and friends to raise money to build a new school in Kenya.

The Concert for Africa, held at Northbrook Junior High School on Friday, has been one of the main fundraisers behind a partnership between District 28 and Fred Outa, a member of the Kenyan Parliament who has worked to support the people of the Kibera slum in Kenya’s largest city, Nairobi.
