On May 16th, Lliçà Solidari, a socially-oriented association with headquarters in Lliçà d’ Amunt (Barcelona) hosted a solidarity dinner full of exotic flavors, colors and ethnic variety.Lliçà Solidari has been organizing this get-together for the past few years. The aims behind it are:
• To facilitate coexistence and acknowledgement of people from other countries that live in the municipality of Lliçà D´Munt.
• To present the projects it supports and to raise funds for them. This year, just as last, one of the NGOs whose projects it will back up will be Fundación Asha-Kiran.
Around 30 people prepared food from their country of origin so that the diners could sample an assortment of dishes from Bolivia, Nepal, Belgium, France, Ecuador and Senegal. Counting cooks and diners, around 250 people enjoyed both the dinner and the brotherly and festive atmosphere.
After the dinner, there was a short Indian dance show to round off the get-together.Lliça Solidari states: “From Lliçà Solidari, we will continue to work together with Asha-Kiran so that they may carry on with their solidarity endeavors in India.”
From Asha-Kiran, we are once again thankful for being able to go on walking hand-in-hand with Lliçà Solidari.
