A week with Moments of Freedom

The women of Moments of Freedom had a busy week last week.

Starting off in Clydebank Library they were presented their Food Hygiene certificates by Marie McNair MSP. The women showed off their new skills by cooking lots of amazing recipes for guests to enjoy for lunch. The group have also produced a new recipe booklet for people to try at home.

On Tuesday the group were filmed by BBC Alba as part of a new documentary on the lives of Syrians living across Europe. The crew travelled to Centre 81, Clydebank and the women shared more about the group and their lives as New Scots living in West Dunbartonshire and their hopes for the future. The documentary is due to air at the end of March.

On Wednesday the women were invited to host a stall at the ISARO International Women’s Day event in Centre 81. The group brought together all of their resources, old and new, to share with attendees and gave a short speech on their work, inviting people to their upcoming event in June as part of Refugee Festival Week.

This month, during Ramadan, the women will be focusing on their new plant beds at Centre 81 and are looking forward to planting some fruit and veg seeds to enjoy at the end of the harvest this year.
