Cooking Class: A Fundraiser for Turkey & Syria

Come learn to make your favorite Turkish dishes at this super fun cooking class! Have a blast and give back at the same time! All profits will go to Singapore Red Cross, earmarked for earthquake relief. 

Giving back is part of the American ethos so leaders of Singapore's American organizations came together and decided we needed to do some sort of community-wide fundraiser. AAS is spearheading the effort. All nationalities are welcome to attend!

The cooking school is charging $50 per person, far below their usual bare minimum. That means for each attendee, $100 will go to the Singapore Red Cross, earmarked for earthquake relief. No funds will go to AAS. Space is limited so sign up early. Children are welcome. As this is a fundraiser, there is no discounted price for kids or AAS members.

ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKES

The devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake near the Türkiye-Syria border in the early hours of February 6 was followed by another one nearly as strong. The earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria caused one of the biggest disasters to impact the region in recent times. As of March 13, more than 55,700 deaths were confirmed: more than 48,400 in Türkiye-, and more than 7,200 in Syria with tens of thousands more people injured. Thousands of buildings have collapsed, leaving countless people exposed to unforgiving winter conditions. Schools and hospitals have been destroyed. The earthquakes struck as the humanitarian crisis in northwest Syria was already at the highest level since the conflict began, with 4.1 million people relying on humanitarian assistance to subsist. Financial assistant is what they need - and will need for years to come.
