RAMALLAH, West Bank — Twenty-two students at Al-Quds University in Abu Dis, bordering Jerusalem from the east, try to find the time between lectures to volunteer between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Sudfeh (Arabic for Serendipity), the first vegan cafeteria in Palestine, located on the university campus.
On Oct. 24, Al-Quds University and the Palestinian Animal League (PAL) opened Sudfeh, which provides meals without any animal products, to promote the values and ethics of animal welfare and encourage veganism among students.
