Syrian Dancing: Ahmad Alhraki and Mayor Mike

syrian dancing: We had tons of food and now we're almost sold out, according to The Chronicle Herald. We should have prepared more items I guess, but the community has been very supportive, said spokeswoman Sylvia Gawad. Founded by three young Syrian refugees, Piece of the East handed out tasty treats such as flavoured pistachios and chunks of savoury Zataar Bread, after an opening ceremony featuring traditional Syrian dancing. All in all, it was a successful day for Rafat Harb and brothers Alaa and Ahmad Alhraki, who met Mayor Mike Savage, Halifax MP Andy Fillmore and Nova Scotia's Immigration Minister Lena Diab. The trio started Piece of the East by joining forces with the Parker Street Food Bank to upcycle' excess food into jam, pickles, banana bread and other delicacies after they noticing perfectly edible food being thrown out consistently around Halifax.
