Ka Joog | Threads for Somalia - A Fashion Show and Benefit for Famine Relief in East African

Oct. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Ka Joog, a non-profit Somali youth organization in Minneapolis and Mohamed Hersi, (an up and coming designer for Ka Joog Design-clothing) - he also serves as the community liaison for Ka Joog, will sponsor a benefit event to raise money for relief of the famine in Somalia.

Fashion show proceeds will go to Save the Children to assist in the famine relief in East Africa. This collaboration is between several Somali organizations that have come together to help people in their homeland.

There will be several events throughout 2011 and 2012.  

Ka Joog is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Our mission is to answer those questions and realize every one of those dreams, and many more. We initiated this non-profit organization in early 2008, in the hope that it would carry our mission and vision.

The event will be held at the Cedar Cultural Center located at 416 Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis. Doors open at 7 p.m. with music and libations. This is a Red Carpet event and we invite you to bring guests and RSVP on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=249747381727060

About Ka Joog

Ka Joog began with a vision, a dream, and lots of ”what-ifs.” Our intention is to provide meaningful activities for Somali youth in Minnesota in order to build a strong support network for their future. We would like to educate our little brothers and sisters—and our peers—to inspire them to pursue higher education, and to let them know that their community is here for them.  Ka Joog is proud to say that we are continually planning and finding new ways to work with our community, motivate our adults and young adults to vote and to participate in other civil aspects in our society.
