What is SACA Doing?

    On Saturday May 15, 4 members of the Yale
    University Alumni Association donated their time and
    energy to host a crafts day for SACA youth.  About 30
    kids painted  murals representing Somali themes and
    made wooden airplanes, pin wheels and decorated
    goody bags.  Thank you for your support of this
    wonderful event for our kids!
Since November 2009 the kids of the  family learning
center, participated in a social studies project to learn
more about Somalia and being Somali-American.  
They named their project the
Somali Kids Project...
