Please join us on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 at the EY Centre for an evening of celebration, entertainment and delicious Somali cuisine.
The annual Somali Hope Foundation Gala is “live and in-person” this year, featuring a tremendous program for the more than 300 supporters in attendance.
This year Zahra Hassan is our keynote speaker. Ms. Hassan is a creator and educator from Toronto, who combines her passion for teaching and fashion through her authentic teacher outfit videos. With her creative flair and dedication to education, she uses her platform to inspire fellow educators and students alike, demonstrating the power of self-expression through fashion in the classroom. Through her videos, she brings a unique blend of style and pedagogy, making learning a truly engaging experience for all.
The Gala is a very popular event with the Ottawa Somali community and its supporters. It is an opportunity for everyone to have a terrific evening while raising funds for a worthy cause – providing free, high quality and equitable education to girls and boys in rural Somalia.
