Big day!
Submitted by heather on Wed, 01/12/2010 - 5:33pm in
Today is World Aids Day - this year's theme is Universal Access and Human Rights. Click on the ribbon to hear from those living with HIV what you could do that would make a difference - or to make a suggestion if you're living with HIV yourself.
Meanwhile, Chag Hanukkah Sameach to all our Jewish friends and supporters - tonight is the first of the eight nights of Hanukkah - not the most important Jewish festival of the year, but the one nearest to Christmas! :)

Our first Community Iftari
Submitted by fatima on Tue, 28/09/2010 - 8:08am in
On Wednesday the 25th of August. FolesHillfields Vision Project hosted our very first Community Iftari, to bring together Muslims and non-Muslims.
During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk.
The Iftar meal is the high point of a fasting persons day. There is often a lot of chatting and laughter around the table. Since its a festival of giving and sharing, Muslims prepare special dishes and invite friends and family to have iftari together.
Eid at 6 Paul Stacey
Submitted by fatima on Thu, 16/09/2010 - 12:00am in
At our regular drop-in Open House session (Wednesdays 2-4pm) we had an Eid celebration. It was a great opportunity to enjoy some lovely food and mark the end of Ramadan with people of different backgrounds and faiths.
There was a nice mix of people, from regulars to a group of new women that came to our women's pamper day the day before. We also had a lovely lady called Betty who, at 82 years old and having lived in Hillfields all her life, entertained us with stories of celebrations and history.

Submitted by heather on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 4:06pm in
This year the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan - Eid - and the Jewish New Year - Rosh Hashanah - have arrived at the same time.
There's a nice article in the Jewish Chronicle about the similarities of the two celebrations. What do you love about one or other or both?

Like on most of our Wednesdays, this week too we had a women's coffee morning. Only this time, it had a theme – an inter-faith coffee morning. And by the end it proved to be just that.
