It all started with a suggestion from a youth. During the Houston community's 19 Day Feast, Seena Monjazeb recommended that the community contribute to the Chile Temple Fund. The suggestion was taken to the Local Spiritual Assembly, which approved the idea and responded to Seena with a much bigger task.

Seena and Afshin immediately accepted the challenge and got to work hosting a "Chili for Chile Cook-off" for the community.
