MACPRI 2013 Toronto International Oware Tournament

Plans are now underway for the 2nd Inter-generational Toronto International Oware Tournament and Free Family Fun Day organized by MACPRI Chief Adisa S. Oji who is also the developer of the African Image Revolution.

A venue has been chosen and to be confirmed. A date has also been selected early in the 2013-2014 school year at the end of September. We are now looking for sponsors.

There are sponsor packages for as low as $200.00 and from the principal sponsors we are looking for $5000 - $10000. Our principal sponsor for the 2011 event was Evans Electrical Services.

A very exciting Oware Family Day program is being developed. Many of the activities in the 2011 program will be return as they were a big hit with our patrons. The 2011 event saw an appreciable participant turn out of over 200 people. For 2013 our goal is to see 400 - 600 community members of all ages enter our doors for an unforgettable experience. The most senior person at the last event who also won the Oware tournament was 79 years old and he faced off in a very spirited championship against a 12 year student from the Elms Middle School. The event was held at the Africentric Alternative School in Toronto.

Please stay tune for more details and if you cannot wait for the details email owarecanada@gmail.com.
Also if you have not yet purchased your personal Oware game board and would like to get one to brush up for the tournament, feel free to request information on retails outlets in Toronto or buying from MACPRI direct.

The MACPRI Oware tournament is not for seasoned experts or masters, it is for everyone. It is an opportunity for the community to come together, learn, play and have fun in a way it has never been done in Canada before. The tournament is also a practical ways for MACPRI to share it unique teaching and social learning style for everyone's benefit.

Preparation for MACPRI's 2013 Toronto International Oware Tournament begins February 2, 2013 at Harbourfront Kuumba Festival, Toronto Canada

 January 26, 2013

Good morning from Accra, Ghana.

It has been a while since I shared any information on Oware Canada and our developments with our readers.While sales of our Oware products has been slow for some time (now picking up) interest in the Oware Revolution continues to grow. We have recently launched the WE Play Oware Facebook page where fans can go and share their experience with this wonderful math teaching tool and also find out about our new projects. We recently launched a comprehensive introduction: Oware Africa in the Jamaica Classroom in October 2012 and there is now interest in establishing an Oware Day based on the Toronto model in Brazil. A Kenya film maker is also working on a project on African game where MACPRI and the work of Oware Canada will also be featured.

On February 2-3, 2013 MACPRI's Oware Canada will participate in the Annual Harbourfront Kuumba Festival for the second time. This event kills off our 2013 WE Play Oware calendar of activities in preparation for the 2nd Toronto International Oware Tournament (more details to come.)

The Oware Canada team is ready for your booking of presentations for your schools, churches and community organizations across Canada. Our rates are very affordable and also negotiable based on the number of game boards you purchase. Please visit or website: www.owarecanada.com or email owarecanada@gmail.com for more details.
