Changes are afoot at….
….Navi Saheli, the Notts Asian Women’s Group of which I am an honorary member. Mrs Kamla Joashi is to retire from her long-term position as Chair of the group and has asked me to stand in as Interim Chair until the appointment of a permanent Chair. I have very little in the way of Hindi or Gujerati, but thankfully the lady members have good English and are so friendly that the prospect of chairing the meetings is far from daunting; indeed, I am looking forward to it. I have been unable to attend for the past two weeks on account of ill-health, but I went to the Luncheon Club today and was greeted with hugs from the members. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to stay and have lunch today, which was a shame, because the freshly cooked vegetarian food suits me down to the ground, being a veggie! I can definitely recommend it - at £2.50 it’s great value and very healthy. I joined the group after meeting Mr Joashi at the Holocaust Centre at Laxton in June of last year and when I met his wife, I just knew we would become firm friends.
I have so much respect for the group, which encourages integration and I look forward to cementing my friendship with the ladies who are my Navi Sahelis (New Friends)
have your say
