It is our pleasure to announce that Rooyesh is now registered as a non- profit society called: Rooyesh Cultural Society.
We have biweekly meetings and we advertise in the Farsi speaking newspapers and magazines. Since we have now been officially registered, we like to plan for our meetings in the coming new year. I would like to ask any Iranian students and other individuals who are interested to join us and speak to our group about the "Concerns and challenges that Iranian are facing." The goal is to integrate various groups of us.Topics vary from parenting to migration to mental health issues. We also have poetry, music, film, and more fun topics.
Our meetings are in Farsi,however, if there is an English speaking guest we may be able to translate for those who attend and do not know English.
This Society is a non religious, non political group and the main goal is to Practice Democracy.

Like the Flowing River by Manuel Bandeira
Be like the flowing river,
Silent in the night.
Be not afraid of the dark.
If there are stars in the sky, reflect them back.
If there are clouds in the sky,
Remember, clouds, like the river, are water,
So, gladly reflect them too,
In your own tranquil depths.
Silent in the night.
Be not afraid of the dark.
If there are stars in the sky, reflect them back.
If there are clouds in the sky,
Remember, clouds, like the river, are water,
So, gladly reflect them too,
In your own tranquil depths.
