 On

before the United Nations.
Wednesday, July 30th the Foundation shared the good news
with the press hosting a dinner at Sylvia’s. Edward Juarez, its
president, said that the “International Immigrants Foundation is
happy to officially announce to the press the awardees’ acceptance
of the Foundation’s honor of achievement.”
Founded in 1973, in its 30th Anniversary, the International
Immigrants Foundation’s work dedicated to the immigrant community
reaches people from all walks of life. The International Immigrants
Foundation organizes multicultural programs that provide an
environment of cultural expression and raise broader public
awareness of the various cultures that comprises the United States.
The Foundation is now coordinating its 18th International Cultures
Parade, to take place Sunday, September 14. The first Parade
took place in 1986, in commemoration of the Centennial of the Statue
of Liberty. For the first time in the history of the United States
the leaders from the many different cultural parades and main
umbrella organizations from New York City gathered to organize one
common event. Over 100 ethnic groups from the metropolitan area
celebrated together, leaving aside their political and religious
beliefs. This year’s parade celebrates “Cultural Understanding for
World Peace” and will have as its leader Ambassador Jose Feliciano.
