Harvard Chan students and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Student Group are hosting a benefit to raise funds for Moms Against Poverty, a non-profit providing direct relief for communities in Iran affected by the devastating earthquake that occurred on November 12, 2017.
The event will be a celebration of Shabe Yalda, an Iranian festival recognizing the winter solstice, and will include Iranian food from a local restaurant and performance by Aftab Dance Group. We will also be raffling off two gift cards to Iranian-owned, KooKoo Cafe.
All proceeds will benefit communities affected by the earthquake. Our co-sponsors include the Office for Student Affairs at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Iranian Alliances Across Borders (IAAB).
