Story: Saleema Imam
Saturday 13th March saw Burngreave’s Yemeni community fervently celebrating International Women’s Day. Faiza Shaiba, the organiser of the event, welcomed everyone and introduced children reading excerpts from the Koran and nasheeds.
A tasty meal was shared by all and it was fantastic to see the Vestry Hall bursting at the seams once more, full to the rafters with women and children enjoying the music, dance, henna and face painting and other cultural activities.
