Compassion Action Foundation is please
to take part in Muslim Heritage Month. We
join a diverse group of Muslim Americans in Edison and Fairlawn New Jersey. It was
a great opportunity to build bridges and share with fellow Americans. In
attendance both Muslim and Non Muslim
Americans. The history and art exhibits as well as the cultural food was a highlight.
The children’s reading
session
was a great plus for the little ones. A family event,
something for everyone. Government officials in attendance as Muslim Heritage
Month is recognized as a recognized in some of the United States of America
including, Illinois, New Jersey, Utah, and Washington. We look forward to more opportunities like this and invite you to keep in touch.

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.

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.

The iftar a clear picture of the diversity of the Islamic community. A collective prayer starting with the beautiful call, as people young and old gathered in line. A delightful meal was served. In the background engaging chatter and children’s laughter, a pleasant sound covered the banquet hall.

We are pleased to have been part of such a collaboration and look forward to more in the future. If you are one of the attendees, we thank you for joining us. If you didn’t have the opportunity to attend we look forward to your presence at the next opportunity. Keep in touch and visit us at our web page,
