We’re super excited to be working yet again with this awesome organization on their next fundraiser, the Friends of Africa Benefit Gala, which this year is focused on Energy for Africa. You may remember that we were a part of last year’s gala which benefited the UN’s Nothing but Nets Campaign, and we’re honored to be coming back again! Its an awesome event which draws a huge crowd and usually sells out, so be sure to read up on the event below, and get your tickets ASAP to secure your spot!UNA-SNY Young Professionals African Affairs Committee Hosts:
