Good vibes for Palestine at St Raph's Community Vibe Day

 

More than 300 people crowded into the green space outside St Raphael's Voice Centre on the estate on a lovely warm Sunday afternoon.  Good vibes were promised and they were certainly there as the diverse crowd of all ages mixed and had fun in a warm friendly atmosphere.

What was particularly impressive, doubters who say Brent residents don't care about international issues note, was the strong vibe of support for the Palestinian people facing Genocide and forced removal.  There was a Brent and Harrow Palestine Solidarity stall amongst the many stalls and soon Palestine flags and posters could be seen all over the site.

You can play 'Spot the Palestine Flag' in the photographs that follow:

 I was impressed by these four lads who spent the afternoon rushing around picking up litter. That's how to develop pride in your community!

 A truly family event

 


The afternoon finished with a vivid demonstration of solidarity in Palestinian colours,

  

 

Congratulations to Asif Zamir of St Raphael's voice and other organisers for a well run and uplifting afternoon of strong and diverse community solidarity.
