Brunswick Stall

This is our lovely stall in the Brunswick Centre Market Place where we have been coming every Saturday for over a year come rain or shine to sell many different products from Palestine.
We sell wonderful Zaytoun items including olive oil, soap and za’atar as well as almonds and dates from Jericho. We offer tasters of olive oil and za’atar and already many people are converted to this delicious Palestinian breakfast. Also popular are Maftoul and Freekeh as we are able to provide recipe cards introducing new ways of cooking. On the stall we also have beautiful artefacts from Palestine including pottery and embroidery.
Why do we brave the wind and cold to be here?
Our goal is to raise money to foster our Women’s Link Group. We hope to bring Palestinian women to come to the UK and for British women to visit Palestine.
A great opportunity to talk about CADFA’s work on Human Rights
CADFA’s EVS volunteers have been the backbone of our sales team over most of the year assisted by a fantastic group of CADFA volunteers. Every week we engage with the public and talk about Palestinian issues and our human rights work.

Many thanks to EVS volunteers  currently Migurl and Jean and to Stuart, Nina, Nasima, Cris, Andy, Paloma, Reba, Una, Elizabeth, Liz, Gill, Selma and myself, Annika.
