The event took place on Saturday, April 22 at 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm at the Danny Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College in Manhattan.

 

Our aim with this event was to strengthen the common bond of providing traditional Georgian education to immigrant children. This is a charity event with the proceeds used to help needy Georgian children.
