Beginning March 11, the second Wednesday of every month will be a Seva benefit evening at the Chai Gallery, a Silk Route-inspired serving sumptuous Eastern banquets. Located at 3239 West Broadway, between Trutch and Blenheim, Chai Gallery is Vancouver's hottest world fusion venue, where food, music, dance and people of the world come together and celebrate. This weekly fundraiser features some of Vancouver’s best known performers of world dance and music, featuring Gypsy, Flamenco, Indian, Afro-Latin and Persian music and salsa. Weekends at Chai start on a Wednesday night. This is Chai's popular event and it's been going strong for three years, and now it's supporting Seva. If you haven't been to a Wednesday night, or have friends from out of town, this event is not to be missed. Chai Gallery’s owner, Mustafa Nahib, has says he owes his life to nonprofits like Seva. Mustafa and his family were forced to escape from Afghanistan when he was just five and he grew up in refugee camps in Pakistan and India. “I really admire the work Seva does, especially for children. If the eyes are the windows of the soul then Seva has opened many souls to the world, and the world to their souls,” says Mustafa. Wednesday evenings at Chai are very popular. To make a reservation call Chai at 604-734-5881. Mark your calendar for the second Wednesday of each month and come and say hello.
