Despite having the mother of all colds I trundled my way to Cultureplex, Manchester on a cold winter evening to support a wonderful social enterprise called Heart & Parcel.
This event had been organised by Clare and Karolina Directors and Founders and of Heart and Parcel to explain the process of publishing their inspirational cook book highlighting recipes cooked by English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) to improve their English skills.

Every individual involved in the process gave an insight into how they supported the project and gave pointers about how one could publish their very own cook book.
As am amateur photographer I was particularly interested in how to take mouth watering photographs and videos.

It was lovely meeting Clare co founder of Heart and Parcel. Sadly, Karolina was unable to attend the evening.

I had a fabulous night meeting the Creative Team at Heart & Parcel and wish them every success for the future.
Heart & Parcel was conceived in 2015 by Directors, Founders and ESOL practitioners Clare Courtney and Karolina Koścień.
Their objective and mission has been to assist ESOL learners to improve their English by promoting their cuisine and culture through their pioneering cooking lessons/workshops and events throughout Manchester and the North West of England.
The Heart & Parcel Cook Book highlights 17 ESOL learners and their unique recipes representing their culture, traditions,language and their diverse cooking skills.
The book is available in many bookshops/stockists in Manchester and the United Kingdom.
I would encourage all my friends and family to support the Heart & Parcel team and the wonderful ESOL chefs.

This is my message for World Fair Trade Day 2023.
I'd like to congratulate all fair trade artisans, producers and organisations around the world,
I wish you a very happy World Fair Trade Day 2023.

السلام علیکم،
میرا نام سبینہ ہے۔
یہ ورلڈ فیئر ٹریڈ کے لیے میرا پیغام ہے۔
This month I continued to heal from my shoulder procedure (January 2022) and am learning to live with pain in my right shoulder.
I participated in Fairtrade Ethical Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023 and tried to post a fairtrade product in English and Urdu every fast.
It was my 11th consecutive year supporting and participating in the Six Items Challenge 2023 with Labour Behind The Label.
Ramadan and Eid Mubarak to all my friends, family and fairtrade producers around the world!
This is my blog summarising my effort to support fairtrade producers and artisans during the blessed month of Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023.
This year my right shoulder has been very painful and prevented me from creating vlogs and blogs about Fair Trade in Islam.
On a positive note I tried to post a fair trade product every day during Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023 with translations in English and Urdu.
Apologies in advance for any errors in the Urdu translation.
یہ میرا بلاگ ہے جو رمضان کے بابرکت مہینے میں فیئر ٹریڈ پروڈیوسروں اور دستکاروں کی مدد کرنے کی میری کوششوں کا خلاصہ کرتا ہے۔
اس سال میرے داہنے کندھے میں بہت تکلیف ہوئی اور اس نے مجھے اسلام میں فیئر ٹریڈ کے بارے میں بلاگ اور بلاگ بنانے سے روک دیا۔
