Bringing People Together: Somali National Week



RIAC held the fifth Somali National Week celebrations at the end of June 2006 bringing together one hundred and twenty people! Looking back on the year past, we celebrated the triumph of five community members who graduated from college, including Fadumo Maow, who is a grandmother.

It was also a time of reflection and education: eighteen teenagers had the opportunity to watch In Our House, an educational documentary about HIV/AIDS. The community mourned the loss of Abdi Rauf who was shot and died Jun 23, 2006 at the age of nineteen.
