Vice-Dean Kristiaan van der Heijden is impressed that the students have managed to pull this off. ‘It really did come from the students themselves. All we did was support and facilitate. It’s great to see the community that has developed and fantastic that they are doing something for a good cause.’ Pals, prepare yourself for the most epic bake sale to grace our fair city, and it’s all for a good cause. On Saturday 29th July, #CookForSyria is hosting their first ever #BakeForSyria Charity Bake Off on Columbia Road East London in collaboration with some of the country’s very best bakers and bakeries. Bake For Syria: The Lowdown The students are proud to have attracted the State Secretary’s attention. ‘This will help gain the attention we so desperately need,’ says Damla, a psychology student. ‘Then we really can make an impact. It’s hugely encouraging if your fight gets recognition, not just from Uslu but also from your fellow students.’ Would you like to help the victims of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria?

Event Details

University of Bristol Arab Society and University of Bristol Egyptian Society (EGYSOC) organised a joint charity bake sale to raise funds for the victims of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The event took place on Thursday, February 23 and Friday, February 24 at the Senate House on Woodland Road. Bake Sale inside the Senate House - Arab Society Taking place on Saturday 29th July from 10am to 5pm, an exciting selection of bakeries and restaurants from around the city are taking over Columbia Road for #BakeForSyria. Each trader has been invited to take part and has been asked to put a ‘Syrian inspired twist’ on one of their favourite baked goods or dishes exclusively for #BakeForSyria. The Bake Sale has brought people together, and this has given the students strength. And their achievements are admirable: they have raised 6,134 euros and State Secretary Gunay Uslu has popped by. She spoke to the students and was presented with a plate full of goodies. BakeForSyria was started by Lily Vanilli as an offshoot of the award-winning #CookForSyria to take action in support of the innocent children affected by the war in Syria. The first event took place in the famous Columbia Road London and has since captured the minds of school children, professionals and chefs all over the world. As Syrian and Middle Eastern inspired recipes flooded in, it made sense to share these beyond social media and in the form of a beautiful not for profit recipe book!

The death toll continues to rise, many more have been injured and millions have been left without homes (replaced word shelter because used twice) in freezing winter conditions, in desperate need for shelter, supplies and food and drink. The impact of the disaster will reverberate in the region for generations. With this comes the urgent need to rally together and show solidarity.
