“Candle for Syria” is the name of two awareness campaign events for the Czech public, the first of which we organized in cooperation with the Integration Center Inbáze, zs. Apart from making and lighting candles, the event included the screening of the documentary “Voices Come From A Far Away”, which presents both the Czech and Arab cultures and the possibilities of their mutual enrichment through the eyes of three important representatives of the Czech cultural scene of Arab origin.
The second candle making workshop was held in Pacov with Dominic Miller’s charity concert, the proceeds of which were intended for the purchase of musical instruments for children in northern Syria, where they will be transported by People in Need Organization. The candles were made with love from beeswax and were intended as a gift to donors of our project of alleviating trauma in Syrian children.
