On 17th July 2010 Yemeni Community Association (YCA) celebrated its formation as an association in Greater London and the celebration of Eid Al Fitar. The festivity was held at the Stowe Centre, in Harrow Road in central London. All Yemenis living in Greater London were invited to this joyous occasion. There was an incredible response and over three hundred Yemenis and their families attended. The celebration featured opening ceremony speeches from the YCA chairman Miss Nazik Al-Shuaibi and other dignitaries, there was traditional Yemeni music for people to listen to and dance to, traditional Arabic food and two ceremonial cakes. Families enjoyed the excitement of a raffle prize draw, where many very exceptional prizes were given out, courtesy of Mr. Nassar.
