List of Persian/Iranian Events for 2009-02-08

Hello friends,
I would like to introduce you to our friend Kayvon who is a 24 year old Iranian-Mexican man.

Kayvon was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia a few months ago and his doctors need Kayvon to have a bone marrow transplant in order to cure him from this rare and dangerous illness. Kayvon does not have a match for the transplant and he and his family are looking for a donor to possibly match him and save his life. Best possible donors for Kayvon are those with Middle Eastern or Latino background. As always, all donors are needed for other patients as well.

Please take a moment and strongly consider becoming a donor on the registry and do what it takes to immediately save a life. We encourage you to pass this information for the drive along to any persons who may be possible donors for Kayvon (Multiracial, Middle Eastern, Latino).

If you have registered in the past 10 years, you do not need to register again. You can still help by spreading the word and encouraging others to become registered.
For more information on becoming a donor or the donation process, please visit www.marrow.org or call (510) 908-2170. There are 2 drives taking place this weekend:

9 Parts of Desire
Foothill College Drama Department
February 8, 2009

The Foothill College Theatre Arts Department presents a one-night-only performance of the Heather Raffo's 9 Parts of Desire, the critically acclaimed production that stars shape-shifting actress Luisa Sermol in an incandescent portrayal of nine different women. The performance is co-sponsored by the Foothill College Muslim Student Association. Throughout 9 Parts of Desire, Raffo weaves a tapestry of love, longing, sorrow and wit illustrating the complex and harrowing reality of living in modern Iraq. The show's title, according to Raffo, references God's creation of sexual desire in 10 parts; then he gave nine parts to women and one to men, a phrase attributed to Ali ibn Abu Taleb, Mohammed's son-in-law and the fourth caliph of the Islamic world, circa 650.
