Shout out to Dentons Davis Brown for being our first corporate dinner sponsor. Tonight, they fed about 50 kids, plus made sure they were hydrated in this heat, so that they are ready to play soccer

Only the second week of school and we are already dreaming about next year's camp adventures with Camp Hantesa and Des Moines Y-Camp

We are so thankful to https://www.facebook.com/PrairieMeadows
for the over $30,000 that they provide, year after year, to make camp happen for our 100 lucky kids!

Women of the World will be at the World Food and Music Festival, Saturday only, from 11am-10 pm in front of the Nationwide building.

Representing Afghanistan, the $2 taste item at our booth will be Yasamin’s Kulcha Khatai. For all the visitors who come to our booth on the regular, you know that this is a special cookie.

A traditional Afghan shortbread cookie celebrated for its soft, crumbly melt-in-your-mouth texture. Made with corn flour and infused with cardamom and pistachio, it’s a delightful treat enjoyed during special occasions.
