Dushanbe Zoo Benefit Dinner
A benefit dinner, featuring a traditional Tajikistan Pilov meal, will be held on April 26th, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at Holy Cross Lutheran Church’s cafeteria (Fort Wayne, Indiana). Tickets are $6.00 each.
A team of students from Holy Cross Lutheran School began a project to improve the zoo in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, two years ago when an email pen pal of theirs had a serious accident at the zoo. Out of a desire to help her, the project to improve safety and provide a better family experience at the zoo developed. Black Pine Animal Park joined with the students to receive a grant from the American Association of Museums in Washington, D.C., and have already designed a playground for the zoo and have the equipment on the way to Tajikistan. Monies from the dinner will go towards training their zoo volunteers, improving signage for safety around the animals, and providing exchange visits between the two countries.
Tickets may be purchased before April 23rd at Holy Cross Lutheran Church Offices at 3308 N. Anthony Blvd. from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or call 483-3173.
