The United Nations Association Young Professionals (UNA YP) chapter in Portland helped raise $1,600 in support of Adopt A Future, a campaign to provide education and classrooms at the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. This is the largest refugee camp in the world. We were matched with the Hilal School, which is a primary school with over 1,200 boys and 900 girls. Proceeds will help provide school uniforms, books, and the classroom itself.
This event was sponsored by Sisters Coffee, Hunt & Gather. BRIX Traven, Elements Massage, The Fields Bar and Grill, World Affairs Council of Oregon, and Lagunitas Brewing.
