The asylum seeker women, many of them victims of human traffickers and the torture camps in Sinai, welcomed their Jewish and other guests to a celebration that included food, music and dance in the premises of their workshop. Representing the Coordination for the Pastoral Among Migrants were Sri Lankan sisters Clarice and Dinesha, Katrin and Kirill, all from Our Lady Woman of Valor. They were warmly welcomed by Sister Azezet, cofounder of Kuchinate.
