【推荐2】As a child, Obaida Omar fled the enemy's invasion of her native Afghanistan, walking for weeks through the mountains.
"During the day we had to hide in the villages because of the bombing," said Omar, now a mother of three and Islamic Center of Rochester board member. "I walked on dead bodies. And up till today, it still troubles me a lot when I think back."
Omar, who moved to the U.S. around 13, provided first﹣hand experience last Saturday of what it means to be a child displaced by war as the keynote speaker at the "Dinner for Peace," hosted by the Student Association for the Development of Arab Cultural Awareness.
About 250 guests attended the dinner, the proceeds of which will go to education for children affected by the Middle Eastern refugee crisis.
"Children did not create this conflict, but they are its greatest victims," said Alanoud Alzaid,the group's president, who gave the opening address at the dinner.
Junior Deema Abdo, co﹣founder of the non﹣profit Education for a Peaceful Middle East, helped explain the impact this dinner would have in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis.
"Tonight we have raised roughly ﹩3,000 in profit, which means over 1,000 children can get the education they deserve," she said. "Without you, tonight would not have been possible."
The Yellow Jackets kicked the night off with a selection of lively songs, designed to entertain their audience.
The Sihir belly dancing group﹣an Arabic dance also performed, with pride and authority in their costumes of shining gold and bright coral colors.
"We've been planning this for two months now. It feels wonderful to see such an amazing turnout," said Alzaid. "It reminds me that there is still humanity in each and every one of us."
On the whole, the dinner was a success. The audience was also full of praise.
"It's putting faces to the things we always hear about," sophomore Gabby Stillman said. "It brings back that human element and makes you remember that we're all the same."

【推荐3】You’ve reached that special time — you are getting ready to leave your job and move on to the next step in your career. But the end of an employment relationship is not necessarily the end of the relationship — with either the leader or the company.
I learned this relatively early in my career. At first, I was concerned I might lose my relationship with my now former boss, as I truly liked him.
That isn’t to say it always goes like this. When I left another role, in spite of my desire to maintain communication, my former supervisor seemed indifferent and the relationship ended. Sometimes your boss was a nightmare and you want to end the relationship.
But for the good bosses and organizations, the ones that invested in your talent and celebrated your achievements, things are different.
A.But it turned out I had no reason to fear. |
B.So the way I left contributed to this breakup. |
C.It’s completely understandable not to engage further. |
