Mahjong Funday
Aug 4th, 2025 | RU updates, programs, events | Comment
Reimagined was beyond delighted to host our first Mahjong Funday with Refugee Union. Serving those in need has always been our passion, and we love using shared interests—like mahjong—to connect with others. This event brought together players from different backgrounds, creating moments of joy and camaraderie. Despite the heavy rain, we were thrilled to share our love for the game and bring some lighthearted entertainment to the participants. It was a heartwarming experience, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact through something we truly enjoy.
