Mosob created the perfect atmosphere and venue for this year’s Mwanzo Mwema Annual Dinner. It was cosy, colourful and cultured. With burning bukhoor (incense) greeting you as you stepped into the restaurant and guards, drums, utensils and textiles decorating the interior, it was clear we were no longer running on London time – we were in Eritrea.
The food was flavoursome with samosa and flafel to start and ‘Njera’ bread, spicy vegetables and lamb for main course. The company was diverse and everyone seemed to have a great time. We said a few words about Mwanzo Mwema and the work we have achieved, followed by a raffle with prizes ranging from a holistic body massage to chocolates and a Caribbean meal for two!
It was an excellent evening of celebration that ended with mango and banana cupcakes and music.
The best Annual Dinner yet! The final amount raised will be announced soon…
