MESAA Fundraiser for Education Reform (Middle Eastern/South Asian Association)
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm | Off Campus Location
The Middle Eastern South Asian Association (MESAA) of McGeorge invites you to join us on Thursday, November 7th, for an evening of fine Mediterranean-American cuisine and the opportunity to donate to a great cause! In October 2012, 15 year old Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen while returning home on a school bus. Malala was targeted because of her views on promoting education for girls. While Malala’s struggle has brought visibility to the lack of education resources for children in underdeveloped countries, 61 million children ages 15 and younger – the majority of whom are girls – aren’t in school today. Without education, leadership skills and subsequent opportunity, the marginalized existence of girls and women will continue. In Fall 2013, The Malala Fund was launched to help amplify the voice of girls fighting for the right to education. With your help, on November 7th we will donate 50% of all proceeds to The Malala Fund. Great Food, Great Cause! See our Facebook page for more information. Questions: Mirwais Haider m_haider@u.pacific.edu
