Free Burma Cafe provided the catering, as well as speakers who gave insights into the political situation in Burma, the experience of being a refugee, and how we can help.
The food was delicious. Our menu was:
- Kyat Thon Laik (potato masala spring rolls)
- Atha Du Hin (sweet tofu & tomato curry)
- Hin Thee Hin Ywat (vegetable curry)
- Atho Soh (Burmese salad)
- Nga Yoke Thee Atho (chilli, onion & lemon relish)
- Mah Loh Kyaw (coconut bombs, mango, and coconut ice-cream)
It was really interesting to hear about a country I only knew a little about, and quite humbling to realise how hard life is for people forced to flee their homes, live in a refugee camp for ten years, then start a new life here in Australia. It definitely makes me realise how much I take for granted!
