Report On Jashin

Minus the fact that we were sizzling in the sun and had trouble figuring out the logistics of our fragile canopy, Jashin was great.

Afifa, Kelly, and I went around recruiting people and handing out flyers. Esther, Afifa, Masuda, and I all spoke at the podium to encourage people to visit our table and attend the conference.

People came and signed our Afghan Victims Fund petition.  Robina and Lina helped out a lot as well, and Lina took pictures.

A number of enthusiastic young Afghan women signed up for our group, and we plan to contact them soon.  We have many irons in the fire, including our outreach program, our education committee projects, and our fundraisers, and we want to involved these women. We made a big presence.
