It only takes a little...

IFTIN's firstever FOOTBALL team
GO IFTEAM!

The English Literacy classes of Iftin run each week from Monday to Thursday at the Eastleigh Community Centre. On Fridays, the women are free to stay home or take part in any number of things from field trips to workshops. Zahra and Nelius came up with a great idea that builds on our current focus on nutrition. Each woman was asked to come with "Only ONE healthy thing" for a stew (or they cold bring a few shillings to contribute). Together the women brought vegetables, meat, and rice to make a huge Somali stew for the days lunch. The also contributed the jiko stove, the charcoal, the pots, bowls and stirring spoon. They worked together to clean, cut and prepare the meal. "It only takes a little!" smiled Nelius.
