SUMMARY:Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Restless Beings hosted its very first event on the evening of 1 May 2008\, launching itself into the public arena in order to bring to the public’s attention the organisation’s reason for being and the innovative way in which it works. With the first Project taking the organisation to Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, Restless Beings aims to tackle the issues that children in street situations endure on a daily basis and\, more generally\, to raise awareness of marginalised communities across the world. \nThe launch event was held at the City Lane City Hotel in the heart of East London. The sell-out event\, despite a last-minute increase in capacity\, was an absolute success with guests enraptured by the presentation and informative structure of the evening\, all the while being entertained throughout the night. With a delicious spread\, the first film screening of Restless Beings’ very own documentary and special speakers\, the guests were also entertained by a plethora of live singers and musicians all focusing on social change. Artists included the likes of Pearls of Islam\, Poetic Pilgrimage\, Spitz\, Cherry Lee\, Ear for Imagery\, Suzana Ansar & Yamin Chowdhury & Co\, Tai Mahmud & Razzo & many others. Guest speakers included Syed Ahmed and Baroness Uddin\, both of whom showed great support for the cause and helped Restless Beings raise funds throughout the night. \nThe documentary highlighted the social problems that Restless Beings hoped to address through Project 1 and introduced video footage of the affected areas of Dhaka\, the victims of prostitution and abuse and the scale of the problems that they face on a daily basis. The harrowing stories brought home the severity of the situation\, and allowed Restless Beings to fully convey its message to the audience. \nFund-raising activities\, such as the auctioning of small gifts on behalf of the charity\, and a call for donations\, resulted in a total amount of over £4000 being raised\, with much more committed in pledges. Restless Beings’ partner organisation\, Shishu Tori Sangsta\, was also in attendance and hopes to work together with Restless Beings in the near future. Shishu Tori Sangsta runs a “Schools under the Sky” programme\, helping to teach literacy and numeracy\, as well as organise recreational activities in a number of informal open-air schools\, which are held in Dhaka\, and is therefore well positioned for future collaboration. \nThe event ended near midnight with the documentary as the final piece of the evening show and the attendees showing outstanding support for the organisation and its objectives. With more events on their way\, Restless Beings looks forward to the continued participation and support from its sponsors and donors.

SUMMARY:Gaza FullSTOP
DESCRIPTION:This special event was in collaboration with the School of Thought to raise money in aid of those being persecuted in Gaza. In memory of the people who have lost all that they have. And in support of those still under the darkness of injustice and hypocrisy. \nEsteemed speakers and passionate performers saturated the night with their sorrows and disbelief at the atrocity faced and mass murder committed against the innocents of Gaza. \nOn this night\, artists came together to creatively express and highlight the frustrations and powerlessness we feel when witnessing basic human rights being stripped from the defenceless. When daylight massacres are committed and nothing is done to stop them; when no one stands forward to be saviours for the weak; and when even the act of providing medical and food aid is denied without explanation. \nThis night delivered the message that\, though we are far away from the afflicted area\, we feel their pain and wish to fulfil the title of being ‘human.’ Heartfelt prayers and donations were made by those who attended\, with the hope of supplying essential aid for the injured and affected. \nGuest Speakers\n\nGeorge Galloway (Politician\, activist)\nYvonne Ridley (Media personality\, activist\, journalist)\nKen O’Keefe (Director of Aloha Palestine and activist)\nAjmal Masroor (Media personality\, Imaam)\nMaha (Palestine Solidarity Campaign)\nDahlia (Interpal Representative)\n\nTalented Performers\n\nLowKey\nLogic\nSpitz\nMohammed Yahya\nAruba Red\nPoetic Pilgrimage\nQuestRah with Phonetikz & DPZ\nPurple\nTake2\nPearls of Islam\nMasikah\nUmar (Beat boxer)\nJamal Kalan (Poet)\n\nSupported By\n\nInterpal\nPlatform Magazine\nVictor Stone\nQueen Mary BSoc\nInsideDesi\nEclectic Azure\nSavortex\nNo18Studios\nNetwork Bangla\nSylhet in London\nCinema Libre\nNuVibes\nIDEEN Media\nSecond Phaze Design\nMuslim Youth Helpline\nEnchanted Beauty\nMuslimyouth.net\nAerosol Arabic\nJust Muslim\nCheeky Maggot Productions\nAloha Palestine\nPalestine Solidarity Campaign\nIslamic Design House

SUMMARY:Still Restless
DESCRIPTION:An event that marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of Restless Beings. \nAn occasion that brought together some of London’s finest unsigned artists to celebrate the achievements of the organisation and its supporters during its maiden year.  \nThe night was interspersed with mesmerising entertainment\, delectable foods\, an exclusive film screening and a splash of Restless Beings’ signature lollipops – all for the impoverished street children of Dhaka\, Bangladesh. \nFrom start to finish\, the venue was heaving with an audience that knew how to have a good time. Guests\, kind in their intentions\, and urbane in their taste\, were presented with a host of eclectic and diverse entertainment to feast their eyes and ears on. Food for thought was provided by the first ever public viewing of a documentary filmed by Mabrur Ahmed\, co-founder of Restless Beings\, during a research trip to Dhaka. The plight of the street children was laid bare\, and the audience digested the dangers faced by the forgotten children\, day after day. \nThe event celebrated the successes of the fresh and vibrant approach – a signature mark of Restless Beings and its supporters ” to tackling the long-standing injustice of street children. There was much to be collectively proud of\, but it was abundantly clear that there was a lot more to do. And this was the great challenge that was imprinted onto the minds of performers and supporters alike: more awareness needed to be raised\, more campaigners needed to be recruited and more donors needed to come forward. In short\, more people needed to really care about the great number of children who are forced to abandon their childhood for the worst possible type of adulthood. The atmosphere was charged with this realisation\, and that had to have been the best part of Still Restless.
