Zumbathon Sisters Week (SYRIA)




Zumbathon for Syria

The horrors of war are far-reaching and impact all walks of life. Both men and women alike are affected by conflict, and yet the war stories of women remain untold. In an effort to bring to life the issues surrounding women in war, Muslims Without Borders developed “Sisters Week”. This year, in light of current events, MWB is focusing on Syria , and aims to both educate the public about this issue and raise funds for women in need. Rape is frequently employed as a tactic during times of war, but unfortunately even after the conflict has ended the battle wounds of countless women remain. Rape victims not only face physical problems, but psychological, economical, and social issues as well. But there is hope. With proper treatment we can support our sisters and tell their stories. Sisters Week is March 23rd-31st and Nadoona and Muslims Without Borders have partnered up for a unique nationwide initiative.
Zumbathons will be held nationwide to support this cause.


Please join me representing Maryland and spread the word and bring your friends to this 2 hour zumba event to use your love of fitness to raise money to help others in need. ALL Proceeds go to benefit Syria!


*Minimum requested donation is $15.00 but feel free to donate more if you want or also donate what you can if you can't attend.
