May 27, 2014 (San Diego)—Nile Sisters Development Initiative invites the public to celebrate diverse cultures in the City Heights community on Saturday, June 7 to commemorate World Refugee Month. The event features a variety of ethnic foods, dancing, spoken word, a DJ playing music, raffles, entertainment for children and more.
The festivities will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Colina Del Sol Recreation Center, 5319 Orange Avenue in the City Heights community of San Diego.
San Diego has recently become one of the most popular resettlement homes for many refugees from East Africa and parts of Asia. This event aims to help connect the community together and help each ethnic group learn about each other. “Everyone is invited. The more, the merrier!” an email from Nile Sisters states.
