Afghan Cooking Class Fundraiser
We have all been riveted by the recent news in Afghanistan, and many people want to help. On October 10, the Refugee and Immigration Concerns Team of Claremont Presbyterian Church partnered with Newcomers Access Center (NAC) to provide a wonderful opportunity to meet a family from Kabul and learn about their delicious food—and at the same time raise needed funds for refugees. In a Zoom class, Mrs. Parwani prepared a traditional family recipe of “Bolani,” a flatbread with potato filling and a special dipping sauce. Attendees were sent the recipe ahead of time in case they wanted to cook along. The suggested donation for the class was $20 and funds raised will help purchase mattresses for incoming new arrivals resettling in Claremont. Each mattress costs $150. Claremont Presbyterian Church matched all donations! Thank you to Claremont Presbyterian for partnering with us with this creative idea to help our refugee families.
