mmofra means “children”
connecting children everywhere through culture, nature & play
We are based in Spokane, Washington, USA. Through advocacy, interaction and stewardship we advance child-centered projects in culture, nature and play, in the U.S. and in Ghana.
Our current team of active or retired educators and artists is supported by creative, engaged thinkers of every description who share our belief that:
- now more than ever, the sustaining of healthy green spaces matters, especially in cities.
-now more than ever children need play for their physical, social and emotional well-being.
-young people deserve to know, value and share cultural heritage
Friends of Mmofra presents, Playtime: Then and Now, an outdoor art exhibition during the 50th celebration of Expo ’74 in Spokane, Washington, illustrating the universality of play throughout culture and time.
