Happy Anniversary Iftin!
This past Friday, we celebrated our third anniversary of the Iftin Women's Empowerment Project which officially started on July 7, 2008. We were thrilled to see so many new refugee women enter the project this spring. For many of the ladies, this was their first anniversary celebration.
The Iftin project continues to grow as it responds to the rising number of Somali refugee families entering Eastleigh. Please continue to pray for our leadership team at the community centre and for Laura, Nelius, Farhiya and Patrick as they continue to lead the day to day work of the projects.
In the next week, the Eastleigh Community will enter the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. This can be a tense time as the women have additional responsibilities at home.
