Some members of the Buffalo community are interested in starting an awareness campaign about the struggles people face around the globe and more specifically, the Middle East. They are looking for talented writers to submit pieces of creative writing and poetry that express peace, prosperity and justice. The work should be positive and optimistic – it should not be biased or politically geared in any way. Selected submissions will be published in a book. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go towards helping people around the world. Please e-mail your questions and/or submissions to Ali Ridha, at aliridha@buffalo.edu.
