Boys Ahmad: Piece and Syrian Men

boys ahmad: It is owned by a trio of Syrian men who have resided in Halifax for six months, according to Metro News. They came up with the idea while volunteering with Parker Street Food Bank as part of their language course curriculum requirement at Westwood Resource Family Centre. Piece of the East opened for business earlier this month. One of the boys Ahmad was sorting one day, recalled the Piece of the East founder Sylvia Gawad. Piece of the East is made to create jobs, to bring a Middle Eastern twist to the Halifax food scene while moving on the pillars of sustainability, entrepreneurship and empowering newcomers, she said. They were throwing away stuff that was about to go bad and he said, I wish we could upcycle those and make something; I could make such good jam out of this.' I was like why not, let's do it'. Overall, the goal is to empower newcomers through upcycling food waste into delicious delicacies such as jam, coconut bread as well as Middle Eastern sweets such as Gurabi and Baklava.
