Islamic Relief charity dinner

A charity dinner was held recently (April 2nd) to help raise funds for the people of Pakistan. The event, which was organised by Islamic Relief, took place at Anams Restaurant in Bradford. Open to women only, the dinner raised money to rebuild villages that have been affected by the disastrous floods in Pakistan. I spoke to one of the event organisers and Islamic Relief volunteers Fatima Ayub about why the dinner is so important in promoting the work the charity does.

"My aim is to motivate women to go into their communities and generate donations to rebuild one house costing £2,500," she said. "There is a real passion with women and as a mother of five children I know I would be devastated if I could not provide food and clean water for my family."
