00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			So,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			how's everyone doing? Thank you. So about a
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			month ago, we had, brother Akbar Ali from
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			the, Muslim welfare center. Yep. And, he spoke
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			to you about how they help the refugees
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			and, how you can help.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			So today, inshallah, we have brother Mohammed Jahan.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			He is the, president or the
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			the general manager
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			of the, Muslim welfare center.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Before I introduce him to speak, inshallah, I'm
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			gonna ask sister Sadia to tell you something
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			related to,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			one of the brother's donation, please.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Assalamu alaikum, everyone.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			Our grade five raised money for a little
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			boy who was battling cancer for the last
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			2 years,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			and his last wish before
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			passing away
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			was that
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			he would be able to raise enough money
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			to build a well for the children that
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			are not able to have clean water.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			So last week he passed away, but, alhamdulillah,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			our class was able to raise $200
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			to help with the cause.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			Thank
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			you. So, inshallah, the money would be donated
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			to, Islamic relief,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			to contribute toward building a well in Africa
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			to help, provide clean water for people over
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			there, inshallah. So I'm gonna introduce brother, Mohammed,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Han. I'm gonna give him the mic, inshallah.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			He's gonna talk to you about the Muslim
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			welfare center, and, what they do basically inshallah.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			And at the end, inshallah, we'll offer,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			the food you raised or collected in the
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			last few weeks inshallah. So they're gonna take
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			the food and give it to the needy
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			families and the refugees.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			So on behalf of Muslim representative, I would
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			like to thank you,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			as well.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			Like, as you know, like, we are very
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			blessed to live in this country.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			We don't see normally any hunger issues, but
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			when we see outside Canada, especially, like, in
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			Asia and Africa and Syria,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			Very well, like,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			people are suffering. Suffering not only for the
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			food, but also they they are not living
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			in a peaceful condition.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			And Muslim embassy
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			working in social welfare projects, so that we
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			started the food bank.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			So we are helping more than 13,000
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			clients every year.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			Okay. Those who are newly immigrant in Canada,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			those who are not, very well settled here,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			hunger through our food bank. And nowadays, like,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			every
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			day we see, like, a lot of pressure
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			coming on on local food banks. And also,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			like, being as a Muslim, we also try
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			Bank, like brother Rehan said, is open year
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			So at any time, if you guys ever
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			want to have a canned food drive or
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			project Ramadan.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			We build around 4,000 baskets
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			of food for different needy families. So hopefully,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			Insha'Allah, around that time, I'll come back and
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			collecting all these foods, and just know that
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			even one can of food, like brother Rehan
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			said, will help someone,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			he'll give it to one of the teachers.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			the spirit of this canned food drive. Someone
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			who exemplifies the character
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			of giving back to other people. So we'll
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			leave it with Imam Mustafa and the teachers
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			to decide who that one boy and one
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
