What's a community mission at Tower Hamlets without seeing Laura? I was surprised to see Laura at the Bernie Cameron community centre. She was there from 12pm and helped run the event. I went there for the wrap-up at 4 pm. She introduced me to Fathima and they have almost finished wrapping up the events. The kitchen was getting cleared by packing the leftover food for volunteers and others.

I got a plate of Biryani and Curry and left it aside and went to help the other guys move the table. It doesn't take much time to move all the tables and chairs.

The food must go in the report - Louise

Louise, after having a busy GoodGym day with 3 missions, joined me and we started moving the folded tables across the hall. We managed to capture Laura in our cameras before she left for the day.

Then we took a short break and had the food. It's Lamb biriyani and vegetable curry. It was a bit spicy but we both chugged it down like champions.

It's always good if they feed us in the missions - Louise

Louise was hungry when she reached the community center. After having a plate, we are back to full energy and started sweeping the hall. It's quite a big hall and took us 5-10 minutes to finish that.

Before leaving we were asked to take some Bananas and Satsumas with us. Louise transferred half of hers to me and we walked towards the station nearby and left fulfilled.
