On November 9, 2013, more than 80 people participated in the Foundation’s multicultural dinner to support maternal and child care in Senegal. The guests enjoyed listening to a story from Burkina Faso told by expert storyteller Christine Mayr. Abby and Mark charmed us with songs in Yiddish and Hebrew.
The Senegalese troubadour Oumar Ndiaye Xosluman made us dream through traditional storytelling with music and humor.
The evening ended with guests dancing to the music of Zale Seck and the drum.

Thank you to all of you who made this evening a great success.
