FYF’s Sugar is Sweet Provides Catering at Nawroz University

Nawroz University, Duhok, Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Today the Free Yezidi Foundation’s Sugar is Sweet bakery and cafe was chosen to provide an open dessert and drink buffet at the Nawroz University’s 2022 IT Technology Innovation Competition. Our hand-crafted items were enjoyed by approximately 500 people. Sugar is Sweet demonstrated its unique touch and five hard-working staff members were pleased to successfully discharge their services.

In Iraq many people refuse to eat food items made or handled by Yezidis due to prejudice and discrimination against our people. But times are changing, and FYF is committed to pursuing a different path with the new generations in Iraq. We urge all friends and allies in Iraq from different ethnicities and components to reject anti-Yezidi discrimination and treat us as equals. In that regard, we were very pleased to provide fresh, hand-made catering for Nawroz University at this event, and we applaud them for selecting us. The Sugar is Sweet looks forward to working with friends and allies in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region who view Yezidis with respect and treat us as equal citizens.
