This special gathering brings together the warmth and richness of Sudanese flavors, music, poetry, and art, offering a space to connect, reflect, and honor the resilience of Sudanese heritage. Each ticket purchased not only allows you to savor the evening but also supports Touch of Mercy, a charity devoted to feeding individuals and families deeply impacted by the crisis in Sudan.
