Global Communities Showcase Connection, Learning, and Service Through Diverse Events
Anonymous
Communities and institutions highlighted a range of events built around connection, learning and service. In West Central Saskatchewan, residents joined Terry Fox fundraisers, supported two injured miniature horses, and continued local traditions including a long-running music and dance club and the Kindersley museum’s holiday decorating initiative. In Seattle, the sold-out Taste of West Seattle raised $58,128 for the West Seattle Food Bank, which provides food and other essential assistance. An upcoming University of Massachusetts workshop invites participants to make symbolic gris gris mementos for a shared altar in artist Desmond Beach’s exhibition. NYU Shanghai’s spring semester likewise combined academic learning with industry visits, alumni discussions and community events.
