Recent Events
Just a short note to thank you and your group so much for your time on Thursday. The ladies really enjoyed our visit and I have had really interesting conversations with them since. We really appreciated your honesty and integrity discussing the finer point of the Muslim Religion and way of life.
Our visit to the Mosque was also interesting, especially as we went upstairs to the women’s area. Zac, our guide, was also very informative. We all came home understanding your way of life so much better. I personally really found the whole day extremely interesting.
