We held a fundraising evening at Karuna Coffee, Aldershot to raise money for future events, leaflets, this website, and other supplies. This was our first open mic and our theme was ‘Freedom’.
We had a range of amazing performers, poets, and singers, and had a chance to heard from people in Gaza documenting their experiences which were translated live by an an Arabic speaking guest. We round out the night with an encore that became a sing along of a very emotional song.
In the intermission we sold tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) handmade in the West Bank, along with Palestinian olive oil soap, Watermelon keyrings, and Keffiyeh from Hebron. All the money from these sales went back to the small businesses in Palestine. We also sold homemade cakes which were delicious.
