Al Mahdi Centre

Friends Without Borders (Portsmouth) would like to say a big THANK YOU to the Al Mahdi
Centre, Fareham for their very generous donation of food for our clients. In particular, we
would like to thank Mahdiya Datoo and Kausar Arifi, who in between their GCSE studies,
organised the collection during the holy month of Ramadhan. They worked hard to create
posters and advertisements asking for donations and clearly researched suitable products
to collect and purchase. It was lovely to meet Mahdiya and Kausar when they presented
the donations to both Friends Without Borders (FWB) and the Fareham and Gosport Food
Banks. FWB Client Services Manager, Rachel said “I had a wonderful surprise when I
received an email from resident Alim, Sheikh Fazle Abbas Datoo telling me about the
donation and I know that our clients will be very grateful for the extra help”.
