Yesterday evening was unforgettable. We came together to cook and share Sudanese dishes while listening to music. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the richness of Sudanese cultures, while also reflecting on the heartbreaking realities of the ongoing genocide and its connection to global struggles for justice. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, with special appreciation for the ASA leaders who co-organized the event and made it such a success. We are also incredibly grateful to the volunteers who dedicated their time to help with cooking and serving the food. We look forward to the days when we can celebrate peace and justice in Sudan.
