The Welfare Association is hosting a Gala Dinner for the Children of Palestine at the historic Palace of Westminster on Friday 8th November 2019. One of the most iconic buildings in the world, the Palace of Westminster serves as the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, known as the Houses of Parliament. The WA Gala Dinner, is held in London every three or four years, and secures core funding for our key programmes in Palestine and Lebanon.
The evening will begin with a sparkling drinks reception in the Strangers' Dining Room; a magnificently decorated event venue on the Principal Floor of the House of Commons. When Parliament is in session, the room is used by Members to meet their guests and these visitors are referred to as "Strangers". Guests will move from the reception directly into the formal seated dinner in the Members' Dining Room, (known as the 'Painted Chamber', created in 1871). Guests will enjoy the opportunity to hear the latest news of WA programmes, with a chance to contribute to WA's children's programmes. An exciting evening is planned including: an incredible Live Auction, a Grand Prize Draw with amazing prizes, and an exclusive Live Music performance.
Gala Dinner Sponsors: Lead Sponsor: The Bank of Jordan Event Sponsors: Mr. Ramez & Mrs. Tiziana Sousou, The Asfari Foundation, Dr. Nabil Qaddami, CCC, Mr. Yousef & Mrs. Doretta Meshiea, Maison Samadi.
