Welcome back to picture of the week. Sorry we have been away! MRSN is made up of many community organisations that show the highly diverse refugee culture of Manchester. One of the most active organisations is the Eritrean Merhaba Community Association(MCA). The archive has kindly been donated a large number of pictures of the organisations activities by Ibrahim Sirage. They show members celebrating EID and also receiving university certificates of recognition in 2013. As well as charting the history of MRSN, our heritage project aims to show how many different communities have come together and show the amazing things can be achieved if people organiser and work together for change. Thanks to Ibrahim for all his help and support on the project.  ...

This week we are featuring the WAST choir. WAST (women asylum seekers together) are one of MRSN's member groups and performed fantastically at our recent Cultural Festival. Do you know who these people are? We have lots of pictures like this in our archive and need your help to identify the people in them and the places that they were taken. Do contact us if you can help. bill@mrsn.org.uk ...
