Youth Development with CEDAR
Administrator on April 10th, 2010
The Chair of the MINAB Youth Committee and the Imam of Leeds Makkah Masjid, Qari Asim, said that MINAB and Makkah Mosque were pleased to work with CEDAR and Young Enterprise as they seek to empower young Muslims across Europe in their professional and personal development, an objective that is shared by both MINAB and Makkah Mosque.
The mentoring workshops at Makkah Mosque were very successful. The mentors were professional yet friendly. They displayed enthusiasm throughout the workshops and inspired the youths to strive for excellence in all aspects of their life. Even in the short space of half a day, the increase in the confidence and team working abilities of the participants was evident.
Imam Qari Qasim said: “We had a very good turnout for the CEDAR workshop. Children were very eager to participate in such a workshop. They thoroughly enjoyed working with each other and improving their life essential skills such as team-working and leadership skills.”
Kamer Hussain said: “I really enjoyed it on Thursday. I learnt how to do team work and it also helped me to improve my skills. I hop we will have another session like this another time”
Shazad Hussain said: “It was very good because the tutors gave us advice on how to improve our skills. They taught us how to be more patient when I am angry. The tutors also helped to know what we want to be in future and how we can achieve this”
Nikash Khan said: “I found the event good because it showed how much education you need because when you are older you want to have a good job and also they asked us what we want when we are older and how to reach there”
Rahil Aziz said: “The workshops were fantastic, I really enjoyed taking part in them”.
