We welcomed Nahla and Shereen to join us for lunch on Wednesday 22 October. They have settled in the local area as refugees from Palestine, and we shared local Lebanese food from 5 Sisters, as well as students bringing Australian treats such as ANZAC biscuits, hedgehog slice, party pies, and fairy bread.
Nahla enjoys creating art, so we worked on a canvas together using a tree of life as our symbol, with fingerprints and names of students. She is keen to take and finish this artwork, and we look forward to welcoming our visitors back to see this art work and continue our hospitality.
Thank you to Ms Rima Ibrahim for introducing us, our staff member who is also a PARA (Palestine Australia Relief and Action) volunteer.
