Stoke-on-Trent Islamic Centre donate £1012.50 to the North Staffordshire Olive Tree Campaign
Mrs Kurshid Tufail, who with her husband Rana is a very active and committed member of the Stoke-on-Trent Islamic Centre, learned about the North Staffordshire Olive Tree Campaign and not only made a hefty personal donation but also galvanised support from women who meet for prayers at the Centre on Friday mornings. I attended prayers on several occasions and the women’s generosity was outstanding. They raised £1012.50 which I was able to send to the JAI (Joint Advocacy Initiative) Keep Hope Alive Olive Tree Campaign through Zara Mesbah at YCare International in London.
When I visit the West Bank in October 2012 I make sure I have an opportunity to see where the donated olive trees have been planted.
