Serving at the Asylum Seekers Centre Newtown

Last year we (Leith Honor, Marlon Cayley, Harry Peadon & Mrs Fryda) were given to opportunity to cook at the Asylum Seekers Centre at Newtown (ASCN).  Having such a grounding experience last year, we jumped at the opportunity to do it again.

Last Thursday we headed back to ASCN with Mrs Fryda and proceeded to dish out salads, desserts and some chicken that we had prepared the day before.  There were about 40 – 50 people from all walks of life, many couldn’t speak English but they made it clear that they appreciated what we were doing.  We also had the pleasure of serving alongside some students and teachers from Chatswood High.  It was a fun and enjoyable experience for a good cause.
