This Adopt-A-Future dinner is part of a national UNA-USA program, launched in 2016, for chapters to raise funds to build classrooms in the Dadaab and Kakuma UN refugee agency camps in Kenya. Learn more at http://www.unausa.org/programs/adopt-a-future.
As of February 23, 2018, UNA-USA chapters had raised $130,000 for this project. These funds and any raised in 2018 will be matched through the Educate a Child Fund of Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser of Qatar and other philanthropic partners, doubling the impact of the money the UNA chapters raise.
For the Madison intergenerational program, in recognition of International Women’s Day – an annual March 8 celebration promoted worldwide by the UN since 1975, special guest Chef Francesca Hong, co-owner of Morris Ramen at 106 King Street, Madison, will talk about being a woman chef. National UNA-USA Emerging Leadership Fellow and active member of both the Dane County and the UW-Madison chapters Prasangi Attapattu will discuss the refugee situation. Before their remarks, attendees will share a potluck meal of dishes prepared by GenUN members and their families. Please bring a dish to pass, if it is convenient. But know that EVERYONE is invited and should attend whether or not they bring a dish to pass.
Donation of $10 or more requested
