About this event
Altamas hosted a booth at the East Africa Festival to share our community work and raise awareness of the effects of the war in Sudan, and the Altamas Folk Arts Troupe performed.
How it went
Our volunteers welcomed visitors to the Altamas booth, with displays on our community activities, the effects of the war in Sudan on its people, and support for displaced families. We were honoured to welcome the Honourable Mickey Amery, Alberta Minister of Justice, who met our volunteers and board members. The Altamas Folk Arts Troupe (فرقة التماس للفنون الشعبية) also performed traditional Sudanese folk arts.
