Our social initiative in Amsterdam Noord has been gaining the support of the community that is coming to participate in our events. This March, the Bridge of Hope Project promoted two collective events that brought together dozens of members of our neighbourhood in Noord around tables of amazing and diverse cultural dishes.
Food Workshop
On February 27th was a time of great learning and coexistence among the participants. With the theme of Asian Cuisine, the workshop opened the activities of Bridge of Hope with the participation of 14 people. Among them, a great number of newcomers and part of the Dutch community joined the amazingly diverse group we had.
Iftar
As a great part of our community of Arabic origin entered into Ramadan season, in March 21st, together with our partners in Nood (Stchiching Anissa and Credo Foundation), we welcomed about 21 people from Arabic, Dutch and other cultural backgrounds, to have “Iftar”- the main meal of the fasting day, which occurs at sunset every day of Ramadan. The date was also an opportunity to celebrate Mother’s Day, which took place on the same day, according to the Arabic calendar. It was a night of cultural exchange and fellowship. We are very thankful to our partners in Noord, and to Mike and Padrik from Diereneiland, who gave us amazing support.
Stay tuned to our calendar! On April 15th we will have a Candle Painting Workshop, at 10:00 on Kometensingel 58. You are invited!
