Orientals Abroad
Who are we and what do we
do?
As the title of the group indicates, members
belong to Asian, as well as the Middle Eastern and North African
countries. However, all members of Benvenuto are heartily welcome
to join Orientals Abroad and we are very pleased to have members from
other non-Oriental countries.
We organise cultural and social activities
to entertain and inform members of the customs, lifestyles and
conditions in the various countries represented by our members.
Some of the countries we have learnt about are Japan, Korea, Lebanon,
India, China and Tibet. It goes without saying that our aim is
also to foster friendship between our members and to extend a helping
hand when ever possible.
Where do we meet and what
are our Activities?
We meet at a Hotel conference room on the third Thursday of every month at 10:00 a.m.
We start the meeting with tea/coffee and
brioche, and then one of our members gives a presentation on her
country . The meeting is normally followed by a luncheon at a restaurant
featuring the cuisine of the country we just learnt about. For a
list of the current activities, please check the Calendar.
Every month we also organise
unofficially (not included in the Benvenuto calendar), visits to
exhibitions, museums, concerts and meet at our members
homes.
