Sham El Nessim - thank you!
From Saffiya Latif:
Ahlan ya shabab! For those of you who attended the second annual Sham El-Naseem, I want to express my sincere thanks! The event couldn’t have been possible without you. For those of you who didn’t attend, I’ll just say you missed out big time.
The event began on Arab time as people leisurely piled into Mckeldin Special events room. Light music by the popular Lebanese band, Mashrou El-Laila, played in the background as students and teachers enjoyed a Middle Eastern lunch, catered by Moby Dick. I gave a short presentation on the history and significance of the Egyptian national holiday, Sham El-Naseem. Afterwards, students flocked to the arts and craft table for egg painting and henna! Many students left happy, with henna hands and colored eggs.
I can honestly say that Sham El-Naseem wasn’t only an event for celebrating Arab culture and history but also a chance to spend time with the Arabic Flagship family here at Maryland. As a graduating senior, it meant the world to me to spend time with friends, faculty, and staff who made my time at Maryland worthwhile. I hope that someone picks up the Sham El-Naseem torch and continues the celebration next year. :)
