Project 10 East and MASALA present Tihar
Join Project 10 East Inc. and MASALA on Saturday, March 28, from 1-4 pm at the Central Congregational Church in Jamaica Plain for Tihar, a festival of South Asian culture and cuisine, to benefit the Blue Diamond Society, the only organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender citizens in the nation of Nepal.
The Blue Diamond Society works to defend the human rights of GLBT Nepalese and provides counseling and health services, with a particular focus on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Thanks in part to their tireless efforts, Nepal is now the only country in South Asia to allow same-sex marriage and to recognize a third gender.
Tihar will be alcohol-free and open to all ages, with with a focus on addressing GLBT and allied young people. Through performances and speakers, we will explore the beauty and variety of South Asian cultures and the struggle for GLBT human rights in the region. A reception will follow the program, with South Asian music and traditional food and beverages.
All proceeds from Tihar benefit the Blue Diamond Society.
More details to come!
