CULTURE KITCHEN
6 March 2017
PROVIDING an opportunity for refugees to connect and build new friendships.
|
On Saturday 4 March, Elmbridge CAN hosted a Culture Kitchen evening for refugees in Elmbridge and the surrounding area.
Bringing together the families and individuals we work with, Culture Kitchen gave our refugee friends the opportunity to socialise and relax over authentic Middle Eastern food and music. "It was the best party I have ever been to" said 9 year-old, Ahmed. The people we support often feel alone. We wanted to help them connect with others who have shared experiences and to build new friendships. "How did you find us? We don't know any families and have been feeling isolated." Refugee family living in Twickenham. More than 150 people came to the event from across Surrey. "You made us forget our troubles for one night." Syrian refugee. The food was so delicious we've decided to put together some recipes from the event to share with you. Check out our recipe for dolmas below and follow us on Facebook this week to get more authentic Middle Eastern recipes to try at home. |
