A Night with Raya - A Night to Remember!! The Raya Relief and Development Association (RARDA) is a newly found non-governmental, non-partisan and non-political organization with the sole aim of helping the Raya Communities in Ethiopia. The elders amongst us remember the beauty, richness and abundance of Raya in the early years. However, due to man-made and natural causes this section of our homeland has become one of the neediest regions in our country. The Raya Development and Relief Association strives to address some of the persistent problems in the area of poor harvest, disease and lack of educational facilities. This requires a concerted effort from all compatriots and RARDA counts on your generous contribution to meet its goals. We have lined up a string of entertainers that include Mirutse Abraha, Tesfatsion, Tedros and Fikre Seboka to dazzle you with Tigrinya, Amharic and Raya songs in this fun-filled evening. In addition there will be some cultural shows such as 'Gidl' and folktales that you probably have never encountered before. Come and appreciate the beauty of Raya!! Witness yourself why it is called a land of beauty and love!! Proceeds from this event will help some of our projects such as drilling water wells for remote populations, HIV/AIDS educational activities, and other health related projects. Mark this day on your calendar and be part of this great gala night and great cause. Place: Bethel Hebrew Congregation 3830 Seminary Road Alexandria, VA 22304 Date: August 27, 2005 at 7 PM.
