VOLUNTEERS NEEDED- International Night

We are in need of families to host a country!

International Night is a celebration of CES’s cultural diversity! This cultural extravaganza will take place on May 25, 2023 from 6-8pm.

It is an excellent way for our children to share their culture and to learn about other countries.

• During the first part of the evening (6:00 – 7:00), families may visit each country to get a sampling of the country’s culture.

• During the second part of the evening (7:00 – 8:00), families will enjoy performances originating from the various countries on display.

 If you would like to sign up to represent countries, please contact Xinran Li at xinranli@utexas.edu or

Xin Gao at umxingao@gmail.com, International Night Committee.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to represent countries! Team with your family and friends and bring the cultures you celebrate to CES!!!
