Introduction

I would love to meet people from the region and anyone who is interested in learning all there is to know about the people, customs, traditions and relegions of the region (Middle East/North Africa) to explore the city with.

Do you speak Arabic? If so, what dialect(s). Do you know Modern Standard Arabic (FuSHa?) Can you read, write or speak FuSHa? Your answers will help us better offer suitable language workshops for the club.

Yes, i speak Arabic in the gulf dialect (Saudi Arabian) and read/speak/write FUSHA, although it has been while, but given that it is my mother tongue, its there.

Have you visited the Middle East, &, if so, where & in what capacity? For that matter, where have you traveled outside the US? Do you speak any other languages besides English & Arabic? No, this info won't be shared with the FBI !

LOL...Im from Saudi Arabia, and have visited every country in the region except for Iraq and Yemen.

How did you find this group and, now that you're here, what do you want from it? For example, do you prefer Middle Eastern Music events, Dinner Parties, Language Workshops, Live Theatre, or just getting together to meet new people and have fun?

Im up for anything that includes meeting people from the region and people who are interested in the diversity of cultures within the region.

Do you have any experience working with Non-Profits? I ask because I'm considering establishing the club as a Non-Profit in the near future.

Yes i do. Right before graduation, i interned at the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee.

What is your current job/profession/field? What is your dream job?

I work as an Advisor for the Saudi Arabian Mission to the United Nations Nations, dealing with issues on womens and children rights. My dream job would definitley be in the diplomatic realm.
