I'm excited to share details of the fundraising feast next month. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/al-asha-a-fundraiser-for-shereen-tickets-1990272727304?aff=oddtdtcreator
Shereen lives in Gaza city again with her husband & four sons (two sets of twins!). They have, after living in tents, moving repeatedly around Gaza, come back to their home city and set up home in the shell of a destroyed family building. We talk weekly and when I told her of my plans to cook Palestinian food for my community she was delighted! Now we talk recipes and menus and she's really excited to share her food with you. I wish we could cook it together.
I'm fundraising for Shereen so that she may buy things for her family, rebuild her life in the rubble. The trauma they're all living through is unimaginable and it continues with drones overhead constantly, the threat of bombs, violence and the total lack of civic infrastructure.
Please join me on the 27th June at Dartington village hall. There will be a cash/card bar, a specially selected playlist playing (and hopefully a live performance .. tbc) plus a 3-course meal; designed by Shereen & myself. Arrive 6pm for starters at 7pm.
The meal will be served banquet style, will be mostly vegan, gluten & nut free (with gluten & meat dishes easily avoidable). Come with friends or alone and meet new people.
Link in the bio. All monies after costs will go directly to Shereen and her family in Gaza city.
Thank you in advance to who will be donating some of the veg. If any other businesses would like to support this event, please do get in touch. Thank you
