The public is invited to “Trip Around the World: A Taste of Diversity,” an international food tasting with a program about Daraja Academy in Kenya. The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women presents the fundraising event Feb. 1, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Encinitas Community Center Banquet Hall, 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr., Encinitas. Enjoy tasting foods from a variety of cultures, hearing about a special school for girls in Kenya, and choosing which raffle and silent auction items interest you. Wear ethnic attire, if you wish.
The program will feature Jenni Doherty, co-founder of Daraja Academy in Kenya, who will speak on “Empowering Girls to Become Leaders.” Jenni and Jason Doherty have spent 11 years working with over 322 girls who live in poverty. Their vision is that one day every girl receives the education, empowerment, and life-skills training she needs to better her own life and the lives of her family and community. The event will support AAUW Fund, Tech Trek, College Scholarships and General Fund for programs which support education and equity for women and girls. The event costs $40 per person and the reservation deadline is Jan. 26. To make a reservation or get more information go to delmarleucadia-ca.aauw.net.
