Vanaver Caravan is named after its founders Livia Drapkin Vanaver and Bill Vanaver.    Livia was a dancer while Bill was a musician.  Together they traveled across the world and learned new music and traditional dance forms.

The group later expanded and are now known as ‘Vanavers’.  They are well known for their mission of spreading peace and harmony in the world.  The group later collaborated with  the Friendship Ambassador Foundation.
