SUMMARY:Shelanu Keyring Workshop for World Refugee Week

Through stories\, music and art\, we’ll be celebrating the contributions of refugees\, standing together in advocating for their rights and protection worldwide. \nCome along and decorate a key ring to take home. \nRefugee Week’s theme this year is “Community is our Superpower”.
