Trick-or-Treat for Charity

 A friend of mine helped organize the biggest Trick-or-Treat event in Prague that is a fundraiser for children in need. She needed a lot of volunteer to help pass out candy to kids. Whenever a kid would get a piece of candy, they would need to donate at least 10czk for the piece. It was a bit tricky holding the box of candy and the donation container.  The rain didn't deter the kids and luckily the rain stopped after an hour.  There were so many kids and I really understood why there needed to be as many volunteers as possible.  There were so many great costumes.  I didn't even have time to put my costume on, I just started to pass out candy immediately. Luckily I had a giant orange rain jacket so I just figure I looked like a pumpkin! 😂 I was pleasantly surprised how much candy was sponsored for the event. I didn't have time to take a selfie with the other volunteers or ask anyone to put my glasses on. Kids just kept coming and wanting candy the entire time I was there.  It was a great event and I will definitely help out again next year and try to get my friends to help out as well.

Kurdish Kitchen Experience

The last time I was in charge of organizing a cooking class was in February.  I had to take a break for several months because I was towards the end of my pregnancy and of course giving birth to Amaya.  Now she is old enough where Leos can take care of her for a few hours during the day.  It was nice to do something that wasn't baby focused. We had the lovely Razbar teach us about Kurdish cooking techniques and flavors.  It was such a great class.  Everything was delicious and the wonderful aromas filled up the air.  Just in the next class I will need to tell participants to be extra careful of their cups and not to drink out of others because its the easiest way to spread germs. Looking forward to the next cooking class.  Thanks to everyone who participated!
