The Regional Office of the Social Security Administration (SSA) held its 2008 Diversity Day Celebration on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 in the Sam Nunn Federal Center, downtown Atlanta. This year’s theme was “Triumph through Diversity”.
The event was attended by approximately 100-150 employees who were entertained with a program designed to be educational and a fun way of learning about different cultures.
Our very own Arjho Turner, Galing Foundation volunteer, was one of the performers for the event, wowing the federal employees with her traditional Blaan Tribal dance. Organizers for the event, received numerous favorable comments about her performance.
Other performers from the Asian communities included the Southeast Korean Dance Association and a Middle Eastern Dancer. The keynote speaker was Dr. Josephine Tan. Food included a variety of dishes from numerous countries.
Our special thanks to Arjho and Galing Foundation for supporting the event.
