> Dallas and Fort Worth Eritreans came out in mass for this year’s
> independence celebration. People from all around Texas made the road trip
> to Dallas to partake in what is now being recognized as one of the most
> inspirational Independence Day celebration hosted in the city. The night
> began with a heartwarming dance performance by the Eritrean youth. What
> made this year’s performance more unique and emotional was that the show
> was prepared by HIDRI a distinguished group of Eritrean youth whose
> outstanding hardship demonstrated a commitment to the tradition of
> yesterday and the vision of tomorrow. The amount of thought and effort they
> put into the show to depict the UNITY, LOVE and PRIDE of being Eritrean is
> a true testament to the Eritrean way.

> Following the performance, the community of Dallas danced the night away
> with the help of Wedi Zager and his talented band members. This year’s
> festivities were a success due to the hard work of members from PFDJ,
> YPFDJ, HIDRI, Hamade, and the united Eritrean-American families of Dallas.
> The night could not have been possible without the cooperation of all the
> parents, children, sponsors and volunteers from the community who
> contributed their time and effort into making this even possible. The
> Dallas Holiday Organizing Committee would like to thank everyone for
> joining us at the event and for your continued support.

> YOHANNA to all Eritreans Around the World!
