Community Friendship Day
Sept. 27 - One of my favorite activities each year is our Friendship Day celebration at the end of summer. This year we hosted over 5,000 friends and neighbors at our housing compound to enjoy American food, music and entertainment. We also had games for the children. Here are some photos of the event.
