HUMANA PEOPLE TO PEOPLE works in cooperation with the International DRH Movement.  DRH is an abbreviation for "Den Rejsende Højskole" which means "Traveling Folk High Schools" in Danish.  DRH`s objective is to prepare students to work in community development projects with HUMANA PEOPLE TO PEOPLE.

The first DRH school began in Denmark in 1970 and the DRH Richmond Vale Academy (RVA) began in 2001.

So here's an updated copy of our last year's OktoberFest Greeting, including most of the same lively music clips, i.e.:  "Celebrating the Twelve Kegs of OktoberFest," midway down the page:
