George Mason University held the Martin Luther King Jr. service fair today at Dewberry Hall. The Cultural Integration Association, a group that’s goal is to embrace Mason’s diversity, was one of the booths on display at the event.
Zeineb Bawazira, a member of the organization said, “We are promoting our organization today and our goal is to bring different cultures and promote community service and diversity. Mason is one of the most diverse universities in the nation so our goal is to bring different cultures together at the same time for a good cause for helping the community and abroad.”
One of the immediate goal’s that the group is focused on is hosting an event at Mason called The One Million Bone Project. March 4th is when the event is tentatively scheduled to occur at Dewberry Hall inside the Johnson Center.
“We would be creating bones out of clay and for each bone we would register them online” said Bawazira “We would then get a dollar for each bone. That money would then go to a non- profit organization in Somalia to help families of the genocide. The bones would actually be representing the people that have died or goten killed through the genocide.”
“The bones will be displayed at the National Mall June 8th through the 10th.” said Nathan Ludwig another member of the organization.
The event will be free and anyone that want’s to participate would be welcomed.
