THE BIG DINNER: DAY 29

Words from the heart from Naoual at Big Dinner: “When I moved to London last month I was convinced that my first Ramadan away from family would be a lonely one. But after finding out about the Big Dinner project and visiting their iftaars on a regular basis this Ramadan was anything but lonely. I met lovely people from all over the world, ate really good Algerian food and most important of all really felt the Ramadan spirit”.

 

Eid Mubarak from the National Algerian Centre team!

Sami just brought us 2 massive watermelons and kalb el louz to mark the last day of the Big Dinner Project! He came yesterday for his first time and promised to come back with something today. A boy after all our hearts…?and it’s working ☺️?

THE BIG DINNER: DAY 26

Susan sharing her pieces of work from the glass-making classes she attends! The ladies were fascinated by her work – nice one Susan you’re super skilled ? And Zakariah, 13 years old was introduced to one of the attendees who studied architecture to ask him all the questions he had… hope it will help him make his choice about what to study at University in future!
That’s what it’s all about here – sharing, socialising, giving; and learning ☺️
