Today, Sunday I attended a community lunch held at Koorkerk Church in the city of Middelburg, under the theme We eat together We talk together
we gathered around one table strangers at first, but soon connected by food and warm conversation.
What made this day even more beautiful was the incredible cultural and human diversity present. People from many different nationalities came together in one place: from Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Netherlands, Kurdistan, and more.
It felt like one big family, despite our different languages and backgrounds. Love, respect, and understanding were the common language we all spoke.
This was my third time joining such a heartwarming gathering. It’s truly amazing to come together, get to know each other, and share our experiences.
I am deeply thankful to the church volunteers and local residents for their warm welcome for speaking Dutch with us, and for their ongoing efforts to help and support us as newcomers and refugees in this city
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was full of kindness, and the sun was shining a truly beautiful day.
Thank you for these unforgettable human moments
I invite everyone living in Middelburg or nearby to take part in these upcoming gatherings. It’s a great opportunity for connection, integration, and sharing love.
And every time I attend such a meeting, I feel like I’m with my family
Special thanks to the beautiful city of Middelburg and to Koorkerk Church for opening their hearts and doors to us. Your kindness means more than words can express
And the big thanks and follow respect for the volunteer team in this church❤😍
