At the Jami Omar fundraising dinner on January 24th, Muslim leaders focused on the need for youth to have opportunities to get involved at local mosques. About five hundred guests filled the Jami Omar gymnasium at the fundraiser and Anver Malam, imam at the Jami Omar mosque, said the event would not have been possible without the help of youth volunteers.

For Muslims still deciding where to donate their zakat this Ramadan, the Council of Imams of Ottawa-Gatineau would like you to consider supporting the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
