We screened 'Queens of Syria' on 6 November by director Yasmin Fedda at our office. The movie documented the two-month journey of Syrian refugee women in producing a play in Jordan, as well as the various barriers that they overcame to successfully put on this play.
We attended a dinner organised by the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organisation (USSOM) on 3 September which brought together the Syrian community. That dinner followed their annual meeting held in Manchester during that weekend. USSOM talked about their work in Syria, and we also delivered a speech at the dinner about our organisation and our activities.
Rethink Rebuild Society helped Refugee Action in a campaign to let refugees learn. Our role in providing refugees with an opportunity to volunteer and practice their English was highlighted as highly constructive in the process of their integration into their new British community.
Rethink Rebuild Society hosted a book launch on 2 August for the book 'Hikayat Binayetna' by Mansoura Koyomji. The book consisted of a collection of short stories which detailed life in a building in Damascus. Mansoura shared some of these stories with a captivated audience and signed copies of her book afterwards.
Orient News TV has done a report on the work of Rethink Rebuild Society and at the end of that report it interviewed RR's Managing Director Dr Haytham Alhamwi. Dr Alhamwi spoke about some of the different aspects of our work and highlighted some of the points that helped RR to succeed in its work and some of the internal and external obstacles RR is facing.
