Fana Global Foundation (FGF ) was present at two events held at Oak View Elementary School in Huntington Beach. Fana Global had a booth at the yearly Cinco de Mayo Festival held after-school on May 15th from noon until 4:00 PM. Children were able to make "Eyes of God" from sticks, colored yarn, and feathers to take home. Dr. Catherine Amandla Clark, who is teaching Fana’s “Bullying Awareness & Development of Selfhood” after-school class, displayed colorful dolls that she had fashioned from her many trips to Africa. Ms. Shahin Massoudi, who is teaching FGF “Imaginations through Arts” after-school class assisted children to draw trees representing the environment and share their vision of the future. This artwork was made into a mural for display at the Oak View "Anti-Bullying Event" held on Saturday, June 8th.
Oak Views' Pride Day Theme was, "1,000 voices against Bullying - The Pride of standing up for what is right!" The film, "Bully" was shown on a giant screen on the soccer field. Once again, many children came to Fana's booth to do art work to contribute to the Art Exhibition hung on the fence. At one point we even had to add more tables! In keeping with Fana's support of Children's Wellness Worldwide , FGF donated cases of water to the event, and also presented Yoga, led by Niloo Nikpour, accompanied by an oral messages of self-empowerment by Catherine Clark. Both events were well-attended and appreciated.
