After its pandemic hiatus, The Providence Committee on Foreign Relations is embarking on its exciting dinner speaker series for 2021-2022 at the Hope Club, in Providence.
The first speaker, coming Tuesday, Oct. 26, is Omar Bah, who fled The Gambia after having been declared a wanted man because of articles he wrote criticizing the country’s dictator. Inspired by his experience, Mr. Bah founded the Refugee Dream Center in Providence to offer other refugees in Rhode Island post-resettlement support.

The PCFR, chaired by health-care professional and state Representative Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung, says: “We're happy to have Omar join us on Tuesday night at the Hope Club, starting at 6 p.m. Due to COVID-related issues, tickets must be purchased by Sunday night. As a reminder, the PCFR has collectively agreed to require proof of vaccination to attend our events this fall, which will be requested at the door. Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
