Yesterday, we attended the Memorial Day Service to remember all the victims who were killed in the genocide in Srebrenica 24 years ago. The theme of the event was “Bridging the Divide: Confronting Hate”.
On Saturday 8 June 2019, we celebrated our 9th Annual Syrian day at the Abraham Moss Community School in Manchester. Despite the gloomy weather, we are pleased to announce that the event was a remarkable success. It was reported that around 1300 people from different backgrounds, Syrians and non-Syrians came together to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families and friends.
Three community Iftars have been successfully organised for the Syrian community in Manchester during this blessed month of Ramadan. Every Iftar was attended by approximately 80 people who had their Iftar and then performed Taraweeh prayer together.
We organised a fundraising Iftar on Friday 24 May 2019 at Eastern Pearl Restaurant in Manchester. The purpose was to raise money for Iqraa School, which was established in Aleppo suburb, Syria through the support of the Syrian community in Manchester and their friends.
On Thursday 16 May 2019 we attended a community Iftar hosted by the Syrian community in Liverpool. The event enabled members of the Syrian community in Manchester and Liverpool to interact and share experiences with one another. It also highlighted the prospects for future collaborative work.
