Thinking, talking, feeling, and celebrating together at a fantastic anniversary party! It's special to celebrate our eighth anniversary in this way. ♾️ How wonderful to be here with so many people. Together, we are building a society in which newcomers can participate meaningfully, with dignity, and easily.
Creative and diverse program
It was an afternoon filled with an enormous amount of creative talent. Including a thunderous performance by Saman Amini, spoken word by Soraya Shawki and Naya Aljoudi, and an opening song by Aya Bini. And there was also time to get up and dance during an energizing dance break.
In addition, the presentation of our anniversary book and reflections with Renée Frissen, Raphaël Nouwen, Abdellatif Harchaoui, Ahmad Kabakibi, Abdulwadoud Faraj, and others.
