Agenda: Hors d’oeuvres, followed by a televised documentary about the
Omid e Mehr Foundation.
About Omide Mehr:
Omid e Mehr was established in Iran to strengthen the social, emotional, and economic competencies of disadvantaged young women (ages 15-25), and provides them with a sense of self-worth and with the opportunities to experience a full range of life options through self-empowerment, education and training. Despite their past difficulties, and the obstacles still facing them, Omid's young clients have dreams for their future.
The documentary " The Glass House":
Directed by Hamid Rahmanian, Produced by Melissa Hibbard
The fringes of Iranian society can be a lonely place, especially if you are a teenage girl with few resources to fall back on. The Glass House follows four girls striving to pull themselves out of the margins by attending a one-of-kind rehabilitation center in uptown Tehran. This groundbreaking documentary reflects a side of Iran few have access to or paid attention to.
