12 April. The Joel Nafuma Refugee Center (JNRC) at the American Episcopal Church of Rome, St Paul’s Within the Walls, is holding a fundraising Nigerian dinner on 12 April, from 19.00-22.00.

The food will be prepared by a Nigerian cook, who is also a guest of the JNRC, and the dinner is sponsored by the Rome campus of the Arcadia University. Proceeds will go toward the operational costs of the JNRC which hosts regular fundraising dinners to highlight the culture and cuisine of the countries of its guests.

The suggested donation for adults is €20, students €15 and €10 for children. RSVP to events@jnrc.it.
