  • Musical entertainment Libby KirkpatrickSue YoungLaura Freeman, youth performances, and Bangladeshi song and dance.
  • Kid-friendly activities include henna tattoos, face painting and storytelling.
  • Free refreshments offered by Sweet Leaf TeaGreat Harvest Breads and other treats.

Choices for Children is part of For Kids’ Sake, a fundraising campaign of Dayemi Tariqat to support orphanages and schools in Bangladesh. It’s possible to really make a difference because money goes so far in Bangladesh. Only 71 cents a day will take care of a Bengali child’s fundamental needs like food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education and a safe environment. 

For more information, contact Shayla Fleshman, event coordinator, at (512) 698-0637.
