The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation presents the 2008 Leadership & Arts Camp
Cities include Atlanta, Los Angeles, & Oakland
ATLANTA, March
28 /PRNewswire/ — In response to the Los Angeles Times
article Mrs. Shakur said, "We will continue to work to save the lives of
our young people and to offer peaceful alternatives to violence and
conflict resolution. That is what we have done since the murder of my son,
and that is exactly what we will consciously continue to do," said Afeni
Shakur.
The mother of
Tupac and founder of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation
also announced the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the LEADERSHIP & ARTS
CAMP by adding an Atlanta Spring Break Camp and announcing expansion into
California for the first time to host Camps this summer. The Camps are open
to students ages 5-18 (Atlanta Spring Break) and ages 12-18 (Atlanta,
Oakland, and Los Angeles Summer 2008). Camp Applications are available in
English and Spanish online at http://www.TASF.org or by calling toll free 888-875
TASF.
Celebrities such
as Jasmine Guy, Ashanti, Lou Gossett, Vivica Fox,
Marshal Mathers (Eminem), T.I., Tyrese, Chocolate, Mike Epps and many
others have worked with the Foundation on projects that benefit students at
the Foundation. Students receive instruction in acting, creative writing,
dance, vocal training, set and stage design, video production and the
business of entertainment. The camp also stresses literacy, responsibility,
and conflict resolution. The camp experience comes to a dramatic climax
with a full theatrical production at the end of the Camp session.
Many of the former
participants (PAC’s Kids Camp Alumni) have gone on
to appear in television shows, movies and concerts such as Alvin Ailey
Dance, Good Day Atlanta, VH-1 Save The Music, Mary J. Blige tour and more.
