Program
Join us for a very special edition of Kan ya Makan! Come and listen to Santa reading Arabic stories. His helpers will lead craft activities for children.
Dr. Rashid Naim, Principal Senior Lecturer of Political Science at Georgia State University, will explain what’s happening now in Palestine and how we got here.
Panel discussion about civic engagement and civil rights. ADC-GA, CAIR GA, and PCRF-Atlanta and local attorney Ibrahim Awad (The Awad Law Firm) will talk about your civil rights and how to engage with your local and national representatives and understand the challenges of relief efforts on the ground in Palestine. This is a great opportunity to meet these local resources and ask questions!

In service to our mission to educate about the beauty of Arab culture, Alif will launch a new community art project, Tatreez.
Led by Alif’s own Knit & Stitch Club, the goal of this project is to educate about the importance of tatreez and bring people together to work on a deeply significant cultural project.
We are excited to invite Roswell Community Masjid and host their youth group’s exhibit, Kufiyeh. The exhibit explores the symbolism, cultural history, and elements of Palestine through individual research projects.
As part of our fundraising efforts to support PCRF’s humanitarian medical efforts in Gaza, we will have a silent auction of beautiful items donated by community members. Please stay tuned for more information on the items.
A project of Families for Palestine, Atlanta Kids for Palestine will welcome families to make art to raise awareness and write letters to call for ceasefire in Gaza. All supplies will be provided.
Thank you, Community Partners!
This year our Annual Winter Artist & Artisan Holiday Bazaar is a perfect example of the power of collaboration. We would like to thank all our community partners for contributing their talents and services in making this community event happen at a short notice.
Together, we can achieve so much more!
