Raging Asian Women, Expressing Feelings Through Taiko Drumming

Raging Asian Women will be performing tonight at the OISE Auditorium, University of Toronto at the Social Workers Got Talent Fundraising event for Zanmi Lasante a Haitian organization that was founded in 1983 by a group of doctors and community organizers who believe that the poor deserve no less than the best medical treatment and medications available. Understanding that the root causes of poor health lie in the structural violence of poverty, Zanmi Lasante offers comprehensive social and medical support to its patients, providing them not only with health care, but also with access to potable water, adequate food and housing, schooling, and economic opportunities


I was pleased to see that the Taiko drumming group Raging Asian Women will also be featured at this fundraising event. Isumi Sakamoto, Social Work, University of Toronto, is a member of RAW and FYI she is also a contributor to the inaugural book in the CAIP, (Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice) Research Series, "Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Inquiries for Hope and Change".
