Anera held its 2021 Global Gala on October 2 with a virtual event, as well as a small in-person viewing party in Washington DC for vaccinated members of the board of directors, staff, sponsors and honorary hosts. President and CEO of Anera, Sean Carroll, told attendees that last year Anera delivered more than $112 million dollars of assistance to Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese in need--nearly doubling the amount of aid from two years ago. Anera delivers medical supplies to assist healthcare systems and builds schools and trains teachers. It also erects solar-powered greenhouses, farms, rooftop gardens, water filtration systems, wells and other businesses.

Every year since 2017, AAF, an apolitical nonprofit foundation, has hosted a cultural event \"honoring the past, inspiring the future,\" featuring Arabic music, dancing, comedy and, of course, delicious food. Demonstrating the resilience and strength of their remarkable community, Saints Peter and Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church in Potomac, MD stepped in to accommodate the event. AAF sued the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Orlando, FL, when they cancelled their Nov. 3-5, 2023, annual summit, with only a week's notice, and the U.S. Justice Department agreed, determining the hotel was guilty of discrimination.

The Washington Report was founded by US diplomats who had spent their careers making friends for the US. Ambassador Andy Killgore charmed everyone with his \"only-in-America\" origin story. He grew up on an Alabama farm, joined the US Navy after working his way through college, married a World War II widow with two children, graduated from law school, learned Arabic and rose in the diplomatic corps to become an ambassador. Richard Curtiss rushed through high school to join the US Army to fight the Nazis and stayed in Germany to work for peace and reconciliation. He spent the next 30 years telling the American story abroad. At the US Information Agency (USIA) he worked with journalists and students, helped to open or fill libraries and cultural centers and designed programs to showcase American society and culture. Before he retired, he worked for Voice of America (VOA), which in those days broadcast well-respected news and programs.
