AFRICAN CULTURE & GOLDEN CALABASH (GOLCA)

This is an introduction to my platform- Golden Calabash GOLCA).

Golden Calabash (GOLCA) was originally created on 4th of September 2007 as an online group and the platform was created based on the desire to showcase the areas which I am most passionate about being African Tradition, Culture, Humour and the Arts. GOLCA initially started as a Facebook group where members could interact and learn more about culture, Arts, Royalty not just in Africa but indeed the whole world.

The African calabash is product of a gourd plant.

Normally, this gourd fruit has to be allowed time to mature before it is plucked hollowed out to remove the content mainly seeds. It is placed out in the sun to dry up. With time, the green colour fades as it becomes hard. It is ready for use at this point. The calabash needs to be handled with care as it is breakable.

The Calabash is also the embodiment of ultimate women’s mystical power- the ability to control spiritual and physical forces, the ability to create life through procreation and the sustenance of life are regarded as the ultimate power. The female being has been chosen by the creator to be the portal between the physical realm and the spiritual realm. In essence, the Golden Calabash thus is the mother of all calabashes- indestructible and full of wisdom, knowledge and answer to all the world's mysteries.

Vision For Golca & Golca Kidz Foundation (GKF).

My vision is that this platform will not only showcase and promote African culture, tradition and Arts but will also develop and assist individuals who have special talents in the Arts or trying to promote culture and Tradition at any level. The vision for Golca is based on the acronym H.A.R.C.T. (Humour Arts Royalty Culture Tradition).

• Humour- The online groups have a lot of  written and visual humorous posts and always lead to active engagement & interaction between group members. Golca also supports upcoming comedians.
• Arts- Golca also supports actors, dancers and other talented performers through various channels.
• Royalty- Golca showcases royalty not just in Africa but all over the world and as a group we visit royal fathers.
• Culture- Golca showcases, educates and promotes African culture and also creates an avenue where we can learn about foreign cultures.
• Tradition- We also aim  to educate and raise awareness about the importance of promoting African Traditions worldwide.

We also set up a children's charity, Golca Kids Foundation (GFK). This was set up to support less privileged children and although this foundation is currently at the registration stage, we have already started supporting and providing relief materials to less privileged homes.
