A Wonderful World Refugee Day Festival!

Libertas staff and clients had an amazing experience at the World Refugee Day Community Arts Festival in Brooklyn.

Artists, performers, community members, and a host of community-based organizations gathered on Sunday for the 6th Annual World Refugee Day Community Arts Festival. It was a wonderful celebration filled with music, theater, song, dance, paintings, and more.

Libertas clients gave incredible performances. One client opened the Festival with energy and passion on conga drums. Another sang beautifully and inspired the whole crowd to dance. Another helped bring the Festival to a close with a stoic, powerful reading of their memoir about their time in exile.

Executive Director Dr. Dinali Fernando spoke on behalf of Libertas and advocated for services. Libertas clients were a key part of the Festival as they showcased their talents and connected with the community.

Thank you to all who attended the Festival and stopped by the Libertas Center table! We are grateful for your support.


In celebration of World Refugee Day, the Libertas Center is hoping to raise $4,000 for Libertas clients' emergency needs. Thank you for your support!
