NIH Asian/Pacific Islander American Heritage Program
Celebrates 26th Year
|
The NIH Asian/Pacific Islander American Heritage Program
began celebrating its 26th anniversary with a lunchtime program
of Asian food and demonstrations of Asian arts and crafts on May
15. Korean drummers provided noontime rhythms. Also on
hand at the opening event were recruiters from the Asian Pacific
Islander Organization (far l) and the NIH Marrow Donor
Program. |
Luncheon sales consisted of food from China,
India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and Thailand. A percentage
of the proceeds benefit the Scholarship Fund of the NIH
Asian/Pacific Islander American Organization. At left, midday
diners are serenaded by an ensemble of Korean drummers.
