The Somalia Unit at the United States embassy in Nairobi hosted a fundraiser for Banadir University on the evening of February 9.
Distinguished American pianist Ned Kirk performed a series of pieces, including compositions by Beethoven, Debussy, and List.
The proceeds from the benefit concert, nearly US $8,000, will be given to the university to assist in the recovery from the tragic December 3, 2009 suicide bombing in Mogadishu, which targeted a Banadir University graduation ceremony.
