DESCRIPTION:If you are interested in learning what Yemen really is, to those who have 
 experienced it, join us in San Francisco on Saturday, September 12th, 2015 
 at the American Friends Service Committee as we explore the answers to this 
 question. \n\nCome and enjoy a great display of photographs by Yemeni 
 photographers, in addition to four short films and documentaries, all 
 working together to demonstrate what Yemen is. 'Yemen As We See It' is a 
 chance to experience what Yemen is to a Yemeni, a chance to overcome the 
 barriers of language, culture, and geography. In addition to the art, 
 samples of the unique cuisine will be offered in order to give you a 
 literal taste of Yemen. \n\nThe photographs displayed will be available for 
 purchase, and the proceeds will go towards assisting efforts made to better 
 the future of Yemen. Entry is free of charge, but donations are much 
 appreciated!\n\nFeatured Videos: \n-Days in the Heart of the Revolution,

 depend on fishing and shipping for their livelihoods.\n-The Jambeya: Yemen 
 from the Waist of a Man. By Sara al-Zawqari, 2014.\nThis cultural
