Happy Independence Day!

A few days before the United States of America’s Independence Day, the 4th of July, we had the pleasure of learning about an American treasure. A pioneer in education. Sister Clara Evans Muhammad, wife of Honorable Elijah Muhammad. She birthed 8 children Emmanuel, Nathaniel, Ethel, Lottie Rayyah, Elijah the second, Wallace and Akbar. Wallace her seventh child became her husband’s successor to
the Nation of Islam. He evolved the nation to Al-Islam. At the time of his passing the Chicago Sun Times newspaper called him America’s Imam.
The play “Sister Clara Muhammad at Hevens Gate” is a great american story. It begans in the state of Georgia carries the
American family through the southern migration to Detroit Michigan, Chicago Illinois and the capital Washington DC. We the audience shared Sister Clara Muhammad’s experiences of pain, joy, struggle and triumph. We laughed we cryed, most importantly, we learned and gained historical knowledge of a woman who pioneered education and the many women that endured unjustified hardship with dignity, morality and strength. This is one of many ways Compassion Action Foundation is Building Bridges across lines of diversity. Surporting outtings like this. Thank you and continue to follow us. We appreciate your support.

We are in a time where the price of most necessities are rising. This makes for the perfect time to reach out to neighbors and share. We are pleased to share CAF’s annually meat sharing program. This year we shared meat packages close to CAF home office. Our volunteers shared meat packages in south and north Jersey communities. With the help of our board members we also shared in other communities throughout the United States. This annual meat sharing is part of the Eid – Al Adha practice. You are welcome and we invite you to join us as a recipient or as a volunteer distributor.

Greetings to all our Catholic friends and the supporters of the newly elected Pope Leo. He is a Chicago native and the first America to be Pope. We had the pleasure of an audience with the late Pope Francis when attendeeing the Focolare
conference. We look forward to
connecting with Pope Leo in the near future.
This past weekend we attended a engaging dialogue between Muslims and Catholics. It was in honor of two late
leaders, Lady Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare and Imam Warith Deen
Mohammed Leader of the Bilalian African
American Muslims. It was a space
of
peace. The love of humanity cover the room. The New Jersey host was Masjid
Mohammed in Newark NJ, however the attendees joined virtually from serval watch parties around the world. Compassion Action Foundation looks forward to more such opportunities to build bridges.

Compassion Action Foundation, Central Jersey Cultural Center and Muslim Journal are pleased to share the news of another successful collaboration. We together with professional business women lead an amazing two day retreat. These retreats come under the umbrella of CAF Building Bridges effort.
The retreat opened with a meet and greet, Friday at the CJCC in Somerset NJ. The diversity lecture and community lunch was a great beginning. The two health
workshops so very empowering. The first workshop covered, inflammation and what foods benefits people effected with illness caused by inflammation. We gained tools and knowledge that can be personally implemented. The second health
workshop was about an amazing organization in Virginia that teach and
expose children to gardening. The master gardener’s deliverey was so infectious with excitement. As a result we were ready to
get our hands dirty and dig in the dirt. The process of growing our own food became real.
February is a month that many Americans participate in African American Cultural programs and Valintine family gatherings. We addressed these heart topics with a candle making and violin proformance, lead by a group of amazing University students. We laughed and cried as we viewed, a true historical movie about African American women in the USA Army. It was love and commitment to excellence that jumped of the screen. The universal spiritual message of love excellently presented in the workshop, Your
Relationship with Allah/God. This put it all
into perspective.
These retreats are intended to address the total women’s development, mind, body and spirit. The later part of the day, closing workshop about personal growth covered well being and steps to personal coaching. The presenter covered physical, social / community, financial and spiritual well- being.
We closed the retreat with African American and Turkish women young and old, enjoying a cultural meal and dance. The dishes representing both cultures and dances from both cultures were shared.
We invite you to join us at one of our upcoming retreats and next month Ramadan iftars colaborations. Keep in touch, we’d love to see you.

We are pleased to share the great news of another successful collaboration between Compassion Action Foundation and
Muslim Journal. This was the 20th year of the conference “A Time To Be Grateful”. It
was held in Miami Florida.

Three days of Building Bridges! A diverse group of people all in a spirit of gratefulness.
The first day we attended the Friday prayer, lecture. Imam Bashir shared in particular the relationship between the way trees communicate with each other to us human beings.

The concept was received well. There was lots of time for networking before and after prayer. The attendees traveled from the Midwest, Southern and Eastern states, giving Compassion Action Foundation an opportunity to make many
connections.

On Saturday night our director, Laila Muhammad received the Imam Warith Deen Mohammed Legacy Award at the banquet along with several other awardees. Among them being Grammy award winning and hall of famer Roual Bayyan, from the bad Kool and the Gang.

On Saturday night we had a strategic meeting with our volunteers who we much appreciate. They do an amazing job of making Compassion Action Foundation a success. We also give appreciation to the Turkish Cultural Center of Coral Springs Florida for it’s generosity with hosting our delegation. Sunday peaceful departure to our various locations.
Please continue to visit our website and stay in touch.

n this very important election year, Compassion Action Foundation’s Building Bridges Women’s Diversity Empowerment Retreat program is very beneficial to all Americans. The diversity of our country the United States of America gives opportunity to see and engage with countless different cultures. The effectiveness of such a space is spelled out in our Declaration of Independence.

For two days in the DC Virginia area, we shared space around these ideas. Two different cultures equally educated, engage and encouraged each other. We had a verity of workshops, history, communication, health, success and fitness. There was opportunity for spiritual reflection and artistic performance. The food was delicious and a new experience for some. Turkish desert and African American sweet potato casserole were at the top of the list. The sweet potatoes Virginia homegrown from the workshop presenter. She is an amazing master gardener.

Towards the end of the second day, the retreat attendees modeled their cultural fashion with glamor and pride. This is one of the goals of CAF Women’s Diversity Empowerment Retreats, that the attendees leave empowered and educated through engagement.

We are thankful to American Turkish Friendship Association ATFA for hosting and the expert planners. We look forward to more collaboration opportunities.
