Coffee at the festival
Tribes and Nations are bringing their professional espresso machines combined with organic Fairtrade beans roasted especially for your day. We will enjoy the full flavour of beans freshly roasted and served with style and professionalism. Anything from a macchiato to a lush 30% cocoa hot chocolate or
frothy double shot cappuccino with extra full cream milk! And we can be sure that this coffee has paid the farmer a living wage!
Come and enjoy:
Professional espresso coffee from freshly roasted T&N single origin coffees and served in fully biodegradable BioCups.

Stalls at this year’s festival…
One of the main ways in which Hebron-Leichhardt Festival of Friendship raises money for the kindergartens we support is via the indoor market. As well as our very exciting sale of genuine Palestinian kuffiyehs, this year’s market offers a terrific variety of goods and information, including:
Berberosaharan, a Sydney business selling beautiful handmade Algerian and Moroccan ceramics, metalware, leatherwork and glass. You can get a sneak preview of the kind of items on offer next Saturday from their catalogue.
Permaculture Inner West. Permaculture is an ethical design system drawing together two words: permanent and culture. It was first developed by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, both academics in Tasmania in the late 1970s. They looked at what was happening in agriculture and recognised that it was neither permanent nor related to culture. Permaculture has three core values: earth care, people care, fair share. Aid work is fundamental to us, and so much of our aid work is based overseas – we at Permaculture Inner West have a link with the Marda Permaculture Project in the central West Bank. The Permaculture Inner West stall will be offering seed swaps, seedlings and information on local and international permaculture.

Our kuffiyehs have arrived!
As we announced recently, we’re thrilled to have genuine Palestinian kuffiyehs from the Hirbawi factory in Hebron for sale at this year’s Festival of Friendship. As well as the traditional black & white pattern, we have a number of scarves in an array of colours, as you can see here:

The Hirbawi Textile factory is the only remaining kuffiyeh factory still operating in Palestine, so by sourcing our stock from the Hirbawi family we’re able to support the Palestinian economy and help to preserve a significant piece of Palestinian culture.
