This month I continued to heal from my procedure (January 2022) to alleviate the pain in my left shoulder.
I celebrated Fairtrade Ramadan.
I continued to participate in my 10th Six Items Challenge with Labour Behind The Label.
I participated in the Ikea Lagom Live Get Growing Session.
This months session was titled Get Growing.
I enjoyed learning about get growing at home, composting and the activity slides.
Many thanks to Ahmed for creating and organising the presentation and providing refreshments.
Hello, Assalaam Alaikum, peace and blessings!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my Six Items Challenge 2022 blog.
I'm Sabeena, a social entrepreneur, fair trade campaigner and educator.
So here I am for the 10th consecutive year participating in the Six Items Challenge with Labour Behind The Label.
This blog has taken a long time to complete due to a horrible bacterial eye infection I've had since February.
This year the challenge commences 2nd March - 27th April 2022.
Happy 20th Birthday Labour Behind The Labour team!
Much love
Sabeena
