Baseball offers a unique experience in American culture. Even if you don’t know much about baseball, a game like this can be fun. There is a festive atmosphere at the ballpark. There are areas for kids to play. The food and drink offerings are tasty. It’s an opportunity to get to know other Global Connections members.

We want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous support during Centre Gives. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and your belief in our mission. Your support means the world to us. Thank you so much for making a difference!

Centre County is hosting the biggest giving event in the area, and Global Connections is waiting for your help. Centre Gives is happening from May 10th, starting at 8 AM, till May 11th, ending at 8 PM. To help Global Connections Please, donate Here! We trully appreciate your generosity. 

Global Connections’ goal during Centre Gives is to raise $2,000. The money will be used to strengthen our finances and expand program offerings.

Our activities include free classes to learn English as a Second Language (ESL), book clubs, cultural luncheons, a discussion group, poetry readings, and informal cultural, educational, and exchange activities and interactions. Also, with the fund, GC can help people in need in the community.

Another essential goal during Centre Gives is to spread the word about Global Connections’ work. It is important to emphasize that no money would go to administrative costs. We aim to foster meaningful relationships through service, education, and partnership. 

Tuesday, April 25, brought Saudi Arabia to State College when Global Connections hosted a Saudi-themed Cultural Luncheon at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Port Matilda.

Heartfelt thanks go to Manar Salamah and her expert team of cooks who prepared a splendid array of Saudi dishes to serve to the 20 guests who registered for the event. Thanks, too, to GC member Abdulaziz Albawardi, who gave an interesting and informative presentation on Saudi Arabia’s strategic goals for 2030.

After the two-year COVID-19 hiatus, we are overjoyed that GC is again been able to mount in-person Cultural Luncheons, one of the pillars of our many activities, We look forward to more such luncheons in the near future and will keep you posted as details arise.

Global Connections (GC), Centre County’s first and longest standing (since 1961) community-based, volunteer-driven non-profit international relations organization, will host a Saudi Arabian luncheon.

This gathering marks a welcome return to cherished Global Connections tradition and is our first in-person cultural luncheon since before the pandemic.

Native Saudis will prepare and serve hot and cold dishes from their country and make presentations on Saudi Arabian culture.  There will also be Saudi music and time for Q&A.
