Happy Earth Day!

We’re grateful for this planet we call home and the way it connects us all, no matter where we come from.

This Earth day we ask you to consider how taking care for the Earth can also mean caring for one another.

Our partners at the UofL Kent School Afghan STAR program put on an incredible event this weekend celebrating and honoring Afghans who have been resettled to Kentucky. There was traditional Afghan music and dance, along with many Afghans sharing their experience of resettling here in our great state. A HUGE thanks to our Afghan community, University of Louisville, Justify Solutions, Americana World Community Center, and all the others that made this event so impactful! Keep Kentucky Welcoming!
