Banquet & Symposium for Afghanistan

Last month, seven deadly earthquakes over 6.3 magnitude affected Afghanistan. Over 100,000 people were directly affected, worsening a protracted humanitarian crisis caused by a lack of humanitarian aid that funnels into the country.

We invite you to join our fundraising lunch banquet and symposium this Saturday at 11 am in Dwight Hall as we amplify the voices of refugees as they reflect on their lived experiences and the state of Afghanistan today. We are fortunate to be joined by Musa Mahmoudi, the former Executive Director of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission; Zamzama Safi, who fled from Taliban capture when she was 15 and became a prominent advocate for women’s rights and universal education; and Zahra Motamedi, a strong proponent of women’s and children’s rights in Afghanistan. We look forward to seeing you there! Afghan food will be served.
