Ojai Nomadic Festival, The Cure Salé 2008 : African Festival In Desert of Ojai: The Tuaregs Of Niger, Africa Meet The American West 
 
A one-of-a-kind benefit event took place on August 9 on a ranch in the hills above Ojai, California. Hosted by the Ojai-based The Nomad Foundation (a partner organization of NomadHope), the Cure Salé is a nomadic festival based on the ancient traditions of the Tuareg tribe from the deserts of Niger, Africa. 

Says Nomad Foundation founder and executive director, Leslie Clark, "The festival represents an historic meeting of two herding cultures, the Tuareg of the Saharan Desert and the cowboy of the American West. As someone who lives in both worlds, I'm excited to bring them together in an effort to help introduce and preserve the Tuareg traditions and remind us that we're more alike than we are different."
