On Tuesday 2nd and Friday 5th December, EAL learners and friends of Richmond EAL collected £575 for our charity by joining Santa in Twickenham under the umbrella of Twickenham upon Thames Rotary Club.
In November Petra Cox from Habitats and Heritage came to two Monday classes and gave us all a fascinating glimpse into the history of managing London’s sewage! This included some shocking details about the situation before the arrival of the wonderful Joseph Bazalgette who completely transformed the management of sewage in the rapidly increasing population of London in the late nineteenth century.
On 13th November Fikrte prepared a delicious Ethiopian meal for us all. Many of us had never tried Ethiopian cuisine before and we were excited to have this unique opportunity of trying her traditional and very healthy recipes including injera - a most unusual type of bread.
