Last weekend was a busy one at the Refugee Welcome Center. We went from making Afghan kites on Saturday to a delicious Afghan dish called lubya. Our cook Sakina said it’s a favorite in her house, so she wanted to share with our community.

Keep an eye out for more food demonstrations so you can try new foods!

Thank you Ahmad for teaching us how to make traditional Afghan kites! These kites may look simple, but they are quite difficult to make. Thanks to Ahmad’s teaching and patience, beautiful kites were made and flown in the afternoon’s gentle breeze.
