MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) - More than 40 people gathered with the Manhattan Afghan Resettlement Team at The Fellow Coworking space Thursday afternoon.
Members of the Manhattan Afghan Resettlement Team invited Manhattan residents from Afghanistan to Thanksgiving dinner, with the newly resettled Afghan refugees.
Many Afghan people in the U.S. do not celebrate Thanksgiving but families will still gather for big feasts and fellowship.
“On the Thanksgiving breaks, our families come over and have chat, and eat together, and talk about it and I’m thankful a lot of things that I have in the U.S.A.” Salman Shinwari says.
Along with traditional American Thanksgiving dishes, Halal dishes were also shared, while conversations about the tradition of Thanksgiving started.
