SoCal MeFians take note: The Tahara Project Gala Fundraiser is coming up June 16 at the El Rey Theatre. Lots of amazing dancers raising money to eradicate Female Genital Mutilation.

This is sort of tertiary self-linking, since my wife and several friends are performing, but it's for a very good cause. Tahara is a short film currently being produced by The Tahara Project, will be distributed internationally to organizations fighting to eradicate the practice of female genital mutilation. The film will provoke discussion and encourage women to chose a different path for their American-born daughters. All proceeds will benefit The Tahara Project -- an educational outreach program focused on eradicating Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) worldwide. Media will be the primary tool used to educate women and girls about the harmful physical and psychological effects of FGM.
