Very successful, organized and fun event. Thanks to Berkeley’s Afghan Student Association for giving us an opportunity to be part of the show. BBEF projects and goals were presented to the audience by Farima Joya and Mr. Basirat. Peggy and Nooria jan were very creative in the back of the room with our table passing out brochures and talking to people. A big shout out to Rahima jan who coordinated with the Berkeley Afghan Student Association and made our participation possible. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the BBEF projects.
