I would like to invite a refugee to tea and use one of the mugs i used in my 'Paparazzi' video

I had a delicious traditional Ethiopian coffee and a lovely chat with Galila from Ethiopia.

This was wonderfull !!! I have been workinf with refugees and ASR for the last 6 months. During this time I have gained great opportiunity to meet people from various cultures, make friendship and interact on a global level. We were all born equal, we have the same sky above and the same earth below.

It was dinner AND tea and it was great! :-)

A gruop of pupils in my school organised a tea party for asylum seekers living in temporary migrant helpline accomodation. The afternoon was ver y successful.

Welsh Refugee Council ran an Arabian style café to highlight the plight of Iraqi refugees living in Wales. To be honest with you at the beginning I was rather sceptical of this particular simple act. I (and some others) thought it was a little patronising towards refugees to put them on 'display' so to speak for people to come and drink tea with, but it has worked really well! Over the course of the week 271 people completed the 'have a cup of tea with a refugee' simple act with some comments from visitors including:

"What a lovely place, you should do more of this kind of thing because unfortunately some people need to know the truth."

"I wasn't expecting to come into this café and learn so much, thank you for the opportunity to meet people from a different culture."

"Shame its only here for a week, you should make it really mobile and convert a bus into a café and take it on the road spreading the word about what people go through."
