The Saudi students at Duquesne University are thankfully maintaining the bridge between the two cultures in another celebration in Pittsburgh. As a Saudi student, I find such cultural activities as well as social and sport activities are very important. These activities give the courage for us as nonnative speakers to talk and express ourselves and show others the real picture of Saudi Arabia. The activities also show the Saudi people all over the world how great are the people live in America. They participate in these activities in different manners and help to make them happen and succeed.

Thank you,

Thanks Duke for attending and covering the event.

We had plenty of fun in organizing this event and the large crowds attending it were the fruit of the event.

So many people were involved in the organization, both men and women from different parts of the kingdom, all worked together to organize an event that would present our culture, values and life to the general public.

Thanks again to the Duke for covering the event and helping in promoting cultural awarenss
