On the weekend of the 19th and 20th of March, St Ethelburga’s Centre will be celebrating Nowruz, the Afghan/Persian New Year with our Afghan guests. We welcome expressions of interest from anyone who would like to offer their time to support the St Ethelburga’s team to facilitate these two events and help make this year’s Nowruz celebration a wonderful experience for our guests.
Nowruz is the Afghan or Persian New Year, celebrated this year on Sunday 20th March. Occurring on the first day of spring, this joyous event celebrates renewal, new beginnings and family. Nowruz is a day of celebration and joy, food is shared and music is played to welcome the beginning of spring.
We are hosting two private events for our Afghan guests over the weekend of the 19th and 20th of March. We are inviting expressions of interest from volunteers to act as welcomers and help our team prepare our St Ethelburga’s ‘home’ for our guests.
Volunteers who are Farsi and Pashtu/English speakers are especially welcome.
