In 2013, Fely Tchaco created and launched the first fundraising event MODEFA at MOAD (Museum of the African Diaspora) with the goal of bringing the African Arts Academy's activities to a larger portion of the San Francisco community. The AAA wants to share African arts with San Franciscans and is working on an after-school program to keep kids off the streets and reduce gun violence. Children and families in African American communities, as well as the African diaspora, will benefit the most.
