\u201cAs an ambassador for my home country, Saudi Arabia, I find it important to bring my perspective to the American people and share my culture with the general public and our students,\u201d Alsharif said.<\/p>\n
People in attendance will learn about each individual country\u2019s culture, history, geography, and food.<\/p>\n
