Father Bob raps with the rappers in St Albans

By Star Weekly

Popular priest Father Bob met with founders of local rap youth group ‘RAP 3021’ last month at the Migrant Resource Centre North West in St Albans.

Teenage founders Fostin and Prince, born in Burrundi, shared their story with Father Bob, fellow Father Bob Foundation representatives and MRC staff on how they had settled into St Albans and inspired other young Africans to express themselves through songwriting and dance.

The group recently performed at Federation Square for Cultural Diversity Week.

Father Bob also enjoyed watching the group’s You Tube clip on St Albans.
