Community Dinner 2!

28/06/24

Welcome to the latest highlight from YouthLink, where community engagement meets food!

As evening settled over Auroville, with the mouth-watering smell of food and the chatter of old and new connections, YouthLink's second community dinner came alive with warmth and togetherness.

Behind The Scenes

Since the early hours of event day, the team worked tirelessly to make each part of the dinner special. From planning a diverse menu to fetching the freshest ingredients, every detail was taken care of and all obstacles were overcome. In the busy kitchen, everybody was energetically contributing to a delicious meal: pizzas with a variety of toppings and delicious fried rice. Complementing these delights were crisp salad, refreshing mint juice and soft cakes topped with fresh pineapple and chocolate to satisfy sweet cravings. There was also a thoughtful selection of vegan and non-vegan options, to make sure that there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Setting The Stage: Where Ambience Meets Connection

In the evening, our venue was turned into a beautiful and welcoming space. The ambiance was set up with golden lighting and cozy table settings alongside candles and flowers in glass jars, that invited our guests to unwind and connect. Laughter and conversation filled the air as people gathered around the tables. It was heartwarming to see how a simple act of coming together over food could create entertainment that brought cultures, ages and interests together.

Concluding The Night

As we reflect on our second community dinner at Auroville, it becomes clear that events like these are more than just culinary experiences—they are opportunities to create a space where everyone feels valued and connected, where differences are celebrated, and where friendships can grow. We value the memories created while uniting hearts and palates in Auroville, and look forward to continuing our journey with even greater enthusiasm. We also feel grateful for everyone and everything that contributed to the success of this event and invite you to join us in future gatherings and events.

Let's continue to build bridges and celebrate the beauty of community, one gathering at a time.
