We had our final training session tonight. You should have been there to witness the Muslim American Society group do the RESULTS Basics test! I was so proud of them I could bust. And we had a gentleman sit in on the training who before the night was over asked to join RESULTS. His name is Fousseni Assoumanou and he is originally from West Africa. Then after the training Mona Elkhaldy introduced me to Dhuha Tawil and we talked about microcredit and we talked about lobbying and she wants to be part of RESULTS as well! I am so excited for the November 17 meeting when everyone gets to meet everyone.
I have learned a lot from our newest activists. Kelly Soliman works at HACAP and sees poverty and hunger every day. Idris Abdul Hafiz is an engineer and has an engineer's organization that he would like to collaborate with on RESULTS issues. Aisha Nichols is interested in early childhood education as she runs the daycare at MAS. Mohamed Soliman is a genius at graphic design and wants to work with the media. And Mohamed Taha wasn't able to make it tonight but I saw him before the training session and he is so enthused about working with RESULTS.
I am just so grateful to God for growing our RESULTS group this way.
