CHARITY FOUNDER & COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR, ABBEY PASEDA CALLS FOR EDUCATION FOR ALL IN NIGERIA

Charity founder calls for education for all in Nigeria

As millions of children in Nigeria are preparing to go back to school, the founder and CEO of the charity Focus on Disability Foundation UK, Abbey Paseda, is calling on the Nigerian government to ensure that all children including disabled children, have access to a quality education.

Abbey said “In Nigeria disabled children are more likely to be out of school than any other group of children. Often children with disabilities face stigma and discrimination and are kept at home. And if they do go to school, they face a lack of specialist teachers and resources.”

Last year, Abbey travelled to Nigeria to visit the special schools his charity has been supporting for a number of years. In Nigeria Abbey met with many children who have been supported to go to school through the provision of specially trained teachers and the distribution of equipment such as aids to create Braille and instruction books for deaf children called Joy of Signing.

On his return from Nigeria, Abbey said “a quality education is one of the keys to empowerment, raising self-esteem, gaining employment and lifting people out of poverty. Our charity is passionate about the right to education for all disabled children. The teachers l met in Nigeria are much more prepared now than in the past but they lack the resources to teach effectively in the classroom. Our charity hopes to bring about change by supporting more schools and teachers in Nigeria to teach disabled children”.

“We would urge the public to visit our website www.fodfoundation.org to find out about the impact of our work in Nigeria supporting disabled children and adults”.

BRITAIN’S BIGGEST MUSLIM CONVENTION (AHMADIYYA)MAKES AGENDA FOR PEACE &INTEGRATION A PRIORITY

BRITAIN’S BIGGEST MUSLIM CONVENTION MAKES AGENDA FOR PEACE AND INTEGRATION A PRIORITY

Dates: 21-23 August 2015

Venue: East Worldham, Alton, Hampshire GU34 3AU

Britain’s biggest and oldest established annual Islamic convention, expected to be attended by 30,000 participants this year, will pledge to re-double efforts to defy extremism and press forward an agenda for peace and integration in Britain.

The peace-loving Ahmadiyya Muslim community is the very antithesis of the extremism. It is a community that defines itself as ‘Love for All, Hatred for None’ and its membership of tens of millions in 200 countries is known for its public spirited works; it collects for poppy appeal, practices loyalty to country as a part of their faith, runs a major charity for projects in Britain as well as development programmes including schools and hospitals in Africa.

Among the Muslims at the convention, held for the past 49 years in Britain, will be journalists, judges, barristers, accountants, city traders, teachers, doctors, engineers – standing shoulder to shoulder, united in faith, with people of all races, professions and nationalities.

The Caliph, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who is the Head of Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, will be hosting and addressing the convention, said:

“In Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and all other parts of the world Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is united under the banner of peace.

“Whilst our community is promoting the message of true Islam – of love, affection and peace – throughout the world, some young people are being misguided and radicalised to create disorder here and abroad, in the name of an entirely senseless and false Jihad. Furthermore the injustices in the world are fuelling dissatisfaction and it is vital that leaders take heed to promote harmony and peace based on justice as that will have lasting benefit.”

Rafiq Hayat, National President Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK, said:

“The Ahmadiyya Muslim community is putting into practice the Islamic principles that gives peace, inclusivity, tolerance and progressive intellectual thinking pride of place. The Annual Convention is a great example of how people from all countries can live together in peace. We are honoured that the Caliph will be personally addressing the convention – his guidance on how to achieve peace is timely and much needed.”

The 49th Jalsa Salana (annual convention) takes place 21-23 July at East Worldham, Alton, Hampshire GU34 3

Ahmadi Muslims are active in their communities; they raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities each year and have their own charity Humanity First that is serving humanity locally as well as in all parts of the world irrespective of colour, race or religion. Ahmadi Muslims are the pioneers of interfaith dialogue. In 2003 they opened the largest purpose built mosque in Western Europe in Morden Surrey, which can accommodate more than 13,000 people. The community also built the first mosque in London in 1924.
