Fly With Me Festival

5/9/2022

 
Man and child looking at kite in sky
On 20 August, we celebrated Afghan culture with over 60 Afghan refugees for the Fly With Me festival.

We hired a bus and headed to Dunstable Downs where perfect conditions kept our homemade kites aloft. Our volunteers held 2 kite-making workshops with Afghans earlier in the week and the results were impressive!

It was a beautiful event showing solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and calling for equal treatment for all asylum seekers.

We were delighted to see our video and tweet about the event featured in this article on NPR: ​https://www.npr.org/2022/08/20/1118639064/kite-festival-solidarity-afghanistan-london
