This year, they made extra efforts to raise funds for this noble cause.   check out their team page   'Me Miss Me' movie night   One notable collaboration Amal Gent VZW has entered into is with Sphinx Cinema in Ghent. On Thursday 28 September, they will organise a film evening, the proceeds of which will go entirely to the Refugee Walk, in support of Refugee Council Flanders.   The film "Me Miss Me" being screened offers an in-depth insight into the life of a young Iraqi man trying to build his life in Belgium. The story of Lubnan, who made his journey from Iraq to Belgium and is now struggling to obtain identity documents, sheds light on the challenges refugees face when integrating into a new country. It is an emotional and moving portrait of resilience and perseverance.   info en tickets   By joining hands with Sphinx Cinema and donating the proceeds from this film evening to the Refugee Walk, Amal Gent VZW shows its determination to actively participate in supporting refugees and raising awareness about their situation. Their commitment to an inclusive and supportive community is an inspiration to many and highlights the value of local organisations working for a world where everyone has equal opportunities.   Truly inspiring!
