« Back to Chapters (Archived Material) Prince Edward Island and Halifax - Winter 2000 (March) Muslim Community is working hard towards achieving the goal of acquiring a place for worship. Fundraising drive is in full swing. Women are doing Bake sales and auctions to raise much needed funds. If any chapter or individuals would like to contribute, please do so, we are a charitable organization and can issue receipts for Tax purposes. We have collected close to $50,000 and our target is to raise $150,000 by the end of April 2000, otherwise we will lose the deal on the property. Please be generous and God will reward you. Cheques can be made out to Muslim Society of PEI, and mailed to my address. Our sponsored Kosovar family has settled very nicely and two members have also got jobs. Children are enrolled in schools and are enjoying fully. They come to our monthly pot luck dinners. Jobs for Muslim women are very rare and I, (as president of Multicultural Council) have raised this question with business community and government officials. We pay visits to elementary schools to educate them about our culture. Farida Chishti Prince Edward Island and Halifax - Spring 1999 (May) An excellent pamphlet has been written under the auspices of the Multicultural Council called "What you always wanted to know about your neighbours, but didn’t want to ask!" Questions specific to Muslims are: Why don’t Muslims eat pork, why do people want to keep their own culture, what is fasting, are there mosques, what is a veil, are Saudi’s following Muslim laws? Copies may be obtained from Farida Chishti of the Chapter and from the P.E.I. Multicultural Council, ph (902) 368-8393. |
