September, 2017 - Saudi National Day Celebration

On September 24, 2017, AU's AMFA: Interfaith chapter held a celebration for Saudi National Day, in honor of the increasing Saudi Arabian students in both the Physical Therapy and Education programs on the Andrews campus. With help from La Pita restaurant, there were refreshments of grape leave wraps, spinach fatayer, pita, hummus, and almond bread desserts, as well as various kinds of teas and juices. After a brief introduction of AMFA: Interfaith by Bill Wells, and an icebreaker by Rebecca Murdock, Alya Suliman, one of the Saudi education students, gave a presentation on the importance and history of Saudi National Day. At the end, several of the students from Saudi Arabia led out in some cultural dances, while the Jordanian participants taught some dabke dance as well.
