Join us for a joyful farewell party celebrating the Saharawi students’ UK journey — food, music, dance & shared memories!
About this Event

You're Invited: Farewell Party for the Desert Voicebox UK Summer Programme!

Join us on Wednesday, August 21 for a joyful send-off celebration marking the end of an unforgettable six-week journey for our 10 Saharawi students and their teachers. This is a beautiful opportunity to come together — with the children, their UK supporters, and members of the Saharawi diaspora — to reflect, share, and celebrate everything we’ve experienced and accomplished together.

Expect vibrant Saharawi music and dance, warm conversation, and a heartfelt atmosphere of connection and community. Food and drinks will be provided, and you're warmly welcome to bring a dish if you’d like! We’ll label all dishes to help guests with dietary restrictions.

Time: 2pm-6pm📍 Location: Pax Lodge - 12C Lyndhurst Rd, London NW3 5PQ

Please RSVP below so we can prepare accordingly.


🛍 Light In-Kind Donations Welcome!

If you’d like to contribute a small item for the students to bring back to their families in the refugee camps, we are gratefully collecting:

  • Unopened, non-expired over-the-counter medicines (e.g., pain relievers, vitamins)
  • Quality skin moisturizers and soap
  • Quality UK protection sunglasses
  • Small electronics (used but well-functioning phones, laptops, tablets)
  • Baby clothes and nappies
  • Souveniers that will remind them of the UK

Due to airline limits, no large or heavy items, please — compact, useful gifts are ideal.

If you’d like to make a donation toward the party or the group's other summer experiences, you can do so here: https://www.myregistry.com/giftlist/sandblastarts
