Fete des Rues
The last fundraising event for the year was held in Paquis on 22nd and 23rd of September and again, we were lucky with the weather as it was regularly sunny with no rain. On the first day of the event, we did something different by selling Indian Pakoda (vegetables fried in batter) which proved to be quite a hit.
However, there were also many ‘SLAG food stall regulars’ who asked us for our typical Sri Lankan food (In fact quite a few had actively looked for our stall during lunch time). And so, the next day, we provided the traditional dish of rice, dhal, chicken curry and papadam and it goes without saying, that this was a definite hit!
