SUMMARY:Enjoy an Iftar meal with a Muslim family!
DESCRIPTION:  \nEmerald Hills Institute wants to match and join families together for Iftar dinners during this Ramadan. A centuries-old tradition is where Muslims invite their friends\, neighbors\, and colleagues to an Iftar meal. \nThe goal is to share a good time\, delicious food\, and pleasant conversations around the table to form imperishable and rewarding relationships. We designed this program for everyone who is interested in meeting new individuals and establishing new friendships with people of different backgrounds. Some of the initial benefits will be to see the richness in various traditions & cultures establish ongoing yet satisfying relationships We encourage you to participate in this program by filling out the below form to initiate the family matching process. \nRamadan \nRamadan is a holy month of fasting\, reflection\, gratitude\, and prayer for Muslims. Muslims around the globe respectfully welcome this blessed guest every year as Ramadan is when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received the initial revelations of the Holy Quran.\nFasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. During Ramadan\, Muslims do not eat or drink from dawn to sunset\, and they invite friends and relatives daily to share an Iftar meal to break their daily fasting.\nEid-al-Fitr is regarded as a time to celebrate\, with Muslims gathering their friends and family to show gratitude toward God following the previous month of reflection and appreciation. The holiday serves as an excellent reminder for Muslims to be grateful for what they have and to share with those who may be less fortunate. \nNote: Breaking fast is by the sunset! \nClick for online form

SUMMARY:Nowruz Celebration
DESCRIPTION:What is Nowruz and why do we celebrate it?\nThe word Nowruz (Novruz\, Navruz\, Nooruz\, Nevruz\, Nauryz)\, means new day; its spelling and pronunciation may vary by country. \nNowruz marks the first day of spring and is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox\, which usually occurs on 21 March. It is celebrated as the beginning of the new year by more than 300 million people all around the world and has been celebrated for over 3\,000 years in the Balkans\, the Black Sea Basin\, the Caucasus\, Central Asia\, the Middle East and other regions. \nInscribed in 2009 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as a cultural tradition observed by numerous peoples\, Nowruz is an ancestral festivity marking the first day of spring and the renewal of nature. It promotes values of peace and solidarity between generations and within families as well as reconciliation and neighbourliness\, thus contributing to cultural diversity and friendship among peoples and different communities. \nNowruz plays a significant role in strengthening the ties among peoples based on mutual respect and the ideals of peace and good neighbourliness. Its traditions and rituals reflect the cultural and ancient customs of the civilizations of the East and West\, which influenced those civilizations through the interchange of human values. \nCelebrating Nowruz means the affirmation of life in harmony with nature\, awareness of the inseparable link between constructive labour and natural cycles of renewal and a solicitous and respectful attitude towards natural sources of life. \nBackground\nInternational Nowruz Day was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly\, in its resolution A/RES/64/253 of 2010\, at the initiative of several countries that share this holiday. Under the agenda item of “culture of peace”\, the member states of Afghanistan\, Azerbaijan\, Albania\, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia\,  Iran (Islamic Republic of)\, India\, Kazakhstan\, Kyrgyzstan\, Tajikistan\, Turkey and Turkmenistan prepared and introduced a draft resolution (A/64/L.30) entitled “International Day of Nowruz” to the ongoing 64th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations for its consideration and adoption. \nIn the 71st plenary meeting on 23 February 2010\, The General Assembly welcomed the inclusion of Nowruz in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization on 30 September 2009. \nIt also recognized 21 March as the International Day of Nowruz\, and invited interested Member States\, the United Nations\, in particular its relevant specialized agencies\, funds and programmes\, and mainly the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization\, and interested international and regional organizations\, as well as non-governmental organizations\, to participate in events organized by States where Nowruz is celebrated. \nSource: https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-nowruz-day

SUMMARY:Anti-Asian Hate Crime in U.S. Rises During Pandemic Year
DESCRIPTION:by \nKatharina Buchholz\,\nMar 17\, 2021 \nReports about attacks on Asians and Asian-Americans have been abound in recent months\, ranging from members of the groups being spat or coughed on to Asian-Americans being battered or even killed. \nA survey of police reports by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University confirmed that racially motivated crimes against those of Asian descent in the U.S. have risen in the pandemic year of 2020. While hate crimes against Asians still make up a smaller fraction of all hate crimes reported in America’s 15 largest cities\, their number rose from 49 in 2019 to 122 in 2020. \nIt is not yet clear if yesterday’s assault on day spas in the Atlanta area was racially motivated. The shooting for which a suspect is in custody has left six of Asian descent and two people identified as white dead. \nThe California State analysis also shows that New York City emerged as a hot spot for anti-Asian hate crime last year\, when registered cases rose to 28 from just 3 in 2019. New York was the global center of the first wave coronavirus outbreak and experienced the most anti-Asian hate crimes of any major U.S. city in 2020 by far. \n \nSeparate reports released by the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center confirm that attacks on Asians were highest in the early days of the pandemic\, but also show that they have been rising again lately. While the center recorded a monthly average of more than 900 anti-Asian incidents between mid-March and mid-May 2020\, that number stood at around 300 between mid-May and July and at around 140 between August and December. In January and February 2021\, the center once more recorded 250 reports per month. \nStop AAPI Hate said yesterday that verbal harassment was the most common incident recorded by themat 68 percent of all cases\, followed by deliberate shunning (20 percent of cases) and physical attacks (11 percent of cases).

SUMMARY:Emerald Hills Institute takes part in Stitching Hearts Worldwide
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis week we are spotlighting our incredible friend from Turkey\, Zeynep Kariparduc. Zeynep centers her entire life and career around serving others. Through her nonprofit organization\, Emerald Hills Institute\, she has been able to improve her own community and provide others with resources to do the same. With that\, she has sponsored Stitching Hearts for a number of years and has lovingly worked with us on a variety of projects. \nFor example\, we sent quilts and other needed materials to Turkey where much of her family still lives. When Project Protect began a few months ago\, Zeynep jumped right in to help sewing. She even picked up masks for us and took them all the way to Wee Care Pediatrics in Ogden! Zeynep\, thank you for your beautiful smile\, service\, and love. Keep doing incredible things! \nSource: https://www.facebook.com/SHeartsW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
