Through sharing their own stories, the participants of the Youth Theatre Program got to learn about one another's culture. Besides their collaboration in writing, rehearsing and performing a play based on their cultural sharing, the participants also celebrated Eid together!

| "Abdi showed me what a faithful Muslim he is, because he always follows the rules. He fasted before Eid, .. it makes me think about religions in the world." ~Mike Xu (with Hudeify in photo) |
