Buffalo Without Borders at Asbury Hall

Buffalo Without Borders filled Asbury Hall at Babeville Thursday evening. Guests were welcomed by Eva Hassett, Executive Director of the International Institute of Buffalo. After a Monk's Blessing, dance performances entertained attendees while they sampled ethnic food and wine. Crafts for sale from the West Side Bazaar were a huge hit, along with henna designs that were truly breathtaking. A video made about the International Institute of Buffalo was shown, offering guests a sample of the benefits the organization provides to the Buffalo community. The event was a huge success, offering community members the chance to experience new food and entertainment while benefiting an organization dedicated to helping immigrants and refugees in Buffalo.
We bought earrings, got henna tattoos, ate and drank deliciously, chatted with the like-minded, met our newest city dwellers - a really fine time.
