Each CHAFF meeting only gets better and better.
Today was a sad and poignant one as we bade farewell to Paneerselvam, who returns to India, and we also said au revoir to Kannan Balram who moves to Rauma in South West Finland to take up his new job.
We welcomed Anais Guimard from France.
After a delicious lunch, we had very interesting discussions. We learned many new things about different foreign communities in Finland.
Much of it was eye-opening to several of us.
We had some excellent music with Pornpailin singing a Thai song like a nightingale, Tingting rendering a Chinese song as a true songstress and Ilari thumping out the song "Mombasa" with an air so confident that one wonders why he is faffing around with another profession than the stage.
Ilari is so multi-talented that the stage really must be his real line of work.
We ALL then had the great opportunity to sing a "happy brthday" to our Hungarian friend, Ildikó Hámos.
Do not forget to attend Kaija Välimaa's meeting next Friday (3rd February) afternoon (see announcements) if you are interested in developing CHAFF as a viable organisation.
And next Sunday's meetng - read the blog on Thursday for the venue and time.
Hopefully I can some pictures of the meeting up in a subsequent entry.
