Last night, hubby and I went to a fundraising event for the Internaitional Rescue Committee. IRC is an organization that helps to resettle refugees from other countries. The city I live in now is one of the places that they bring people to. We were able to meet a few people from other countries, and we got to eat some food from several places, including Congo, Iraq and Burundi. It was fun, but it was hot out and we spent some of the time outside. I wish they had more to it, though. There were four "stops:" music, photos, food and "My Story." I was mostly interested in the food and the stories. When we got to the stories stop, no one was there! I don't know what happened. But anyway, it was a really interesting event, and I hope I'll be able to learn more about the IRC in the future.
