44
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:38.079
we have lost. In two thousand
and three, a group of Muslim residents

45
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.040
under the leadership of mister Tophaileman and
Talk to remand with other Muslim leaders,

46
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.839
formed Montgomery County Muslim Council with the
objective to engage the Muslim community in civic,

47
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:55.240
humanitarian and political engagement in Meriland,
encouraging Muslims to perform community service projects

48
00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:00.959
for the county and put into practice
what the islam phase Islamic in Kaig us

49
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.040
to do so. MCMC already started
with very limited funding and other resources were

50
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.240
very very tight and started off in
three projects contructing food Drive for Manner and

51
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:17.480
distributing Christmas and Thanksgiving classkets. By
two thousand threes through eight, these programs

52
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.800
had been further developed and became better
known to the county government and republic.

53
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:29.600
The then county Executive I Clegget invited
MCMs leadership and told them that MCMC was

54
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.279
doing great work and service to the
county and they recommended that MCMC set up

55
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.079
an independent non profit so that they
can be eligible for grants which can really

56
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.839
benefit them in their nonprofit one.
This was the genesis for our setting up

57
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:49.120
the MCMAF an independent nonprofit in two
thousand and eight. The county then allocated

58
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.920
its first grant or eighty five thousand
to us in two thousand and nine.

59
00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:04.079
So where we are today. Next
live reason. So we right currently run

60
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.639
we have like five major programs in
the areas of food, in the areas

61
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:16.000
of refugee rehabilitation, youth programs,
Seniors, Women Empowerment, and Clothing division.

62
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.600
So all our program programs really mainly
fall under the food program, which

63
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.480
has really expanded quite a bit.
In twenty twenty two, food service program

64
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:32.600
distributed over two hundred thousand pounds of
food to the needing residents. Food pantry

65
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:39.439
distributed around one thirty three thousand and
five meeting pounds of groceries and every month

66
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:45.480
we have a drive through distribution in
which people pick up the food groceries on

67
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.240
leave. Each is about seventy pounds
of food to each family. And so

68
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:55.360
as you see, I think the
next life packaging for food pantry, this

69
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.279
is how this office looks like.
Really, so we are going to look

70
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.079
for a space right now. This
is the way the packaging takes place next

71
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.920
one place, and so if you
see the cars, lines of cars and

72
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:14.959
the volunteers and the food being put
in next one. We've also looked into

73
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.680
the fact that there is a lot
of child hunger in the county and so

74
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:24.040
we are working with the County Resources
and we are looking into we have partnered

75
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.560
with Linkage to Learning. I don't
know if they're here today, but we

76
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.879
are really thankful for their partnership.
But we're Linkage to Learning and identity where

77
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.279
they're picking up food from us and
providing them to the schools, where to

78
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:42.560
the low income families. So as
yet we have supplied around three fifty families

79
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.720
and fourteen thousand pounds of food.
But this is going on. So this

80
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.800
is really this is really an ongoing
product. This keeps on. So the

81
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:59.240
refugee Rehabitation program is the program that
has food, clothing, job placements,

82
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.279
employment, everything in it. This
program is led by our miss Bano Mahtun

83
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:13.480
and the next one the Ramadan Project
and the food program is run by myself

84
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.120
and my kid Sadi Koresh, who
was our id support here today. And

85
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.240
so we did Ramadan Basket and every
year during the pandemic, the numbers were

86
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.600
very very high. But right now
we see the two. In two thousand

87
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.279
and two we distributed around twenty twenty
thousand, twenty twenty three, we distributed

88
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.039
to twenty thousand and twenty twenty r
figures. Over there, I can't see

89
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:43.120
this is the one of the slides
where they're distributing. This is the volunteers

90
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:50.840
set up. This is the refugee
meal program that when the refugees came in

91
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.840
in twenty twenty two, we were
providing them hot meals. So we were

92
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:01.759
working with the refugee agencies irc ECDC
and Lutherans Store Services and I thank them

93
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.200
for their partnership and I hope there
here today joining us. So and they

94
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.879
would tell us that which refugees are
coming in and we would send them hot

95
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:16.720
meals at arrivals so we were able
to serve them. We also provide have

96
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:24.759
a partnership with Interfaith Works where we
provide food to feed the Homeless program which

97
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.080
serves twenty four days for to thirty
six women dinner. So we have been

98
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.440
serving at the at the Interfualter for
some years now. And I want to

99
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.960
thank and recognize mister Shane Rock who's
here today, who set up this partnership

100
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.759
with us. So thank you,
say Shane, for your leadership and your

101
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:52.360
mentorship. So MCMF Youth Programs is
led by a strange hunt. It is

102
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.600
it has a number of us.
It is it has every sit classes,

103
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.759
it has coding classes for low income
children or where you have African American Equity

104
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.480
Fund for low income African American youth
and we have to fail MS Scholarship Fund

105
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.840
and as yet we have given them
four We started just recently. So we

106
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.840
have get donated around four scholarships under
the African American Fund in collaboration with the

107
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:26.039
Montgomery College and around four in through
the fair Emmed Scholarship Fund. The Women

108
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:33.080
Empowerment program that's sewing classes regularly and
is really rehabilitated. Around forty families plus

109
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.919
all the time. They have regular
sewing classes and this is led by a

110
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.559
Miss Bano Maktum. We also have
a senior program which is also on the

111
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:48.639
same page, which is led by
Ramzansha and Shiputashi and they do regular online

112
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:56.919
classes, yoga, different health and
wellness programs and also some senior programs going

113
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:03.720
to different places and museums and some
discussion. We have a Thanksgiving and a

114
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.639
Christmas basket distribution. Last year we
distributed to around three hundred families and this

115
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.759
year we are looking to do a
little more and so if you see this

116
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.080
as we get up a grant from
the Toys for Toughts and so we distribute

117
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.440
toys and food baskets to the to
the needy and to in collaboration with the

118
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:30.720
Holiday Gift Basket program. Next,
so where where where we are today?

119
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.240
We are looking, we are cramped
up and we are looking for a space

120
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.440
actually, and we are very thankful
that County Executive matched the funds and gave

121
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:46.039
us a big four hundred thousand dollars
in these funds celebrate it. We are

122
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:52.600
thankful to us Delegate fromar bar Way
who probably not here with Anne District thirty

123
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.919
nine and six seventeen who funded another
six thousand. And I think that we

124
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.799
are really a great for their support
and we and the search is going on

125
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.519
and very soon we will have a
We're looking for a ten thousand square for

126
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.399
place. So if anybody can help
us and guide us in that job aspect,

127
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.559
please we would be all welcome.
We are looking to expand the child

128
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.240
hunger mitigation program and we would request
County Executive to see if there is any

129
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:24.480
funding available for that because I really
feel for the kids and you know,

130
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.480
it's like because we need to develop
more partnerships and see sorry that these kids

131
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.799
can be catered to. We are
now can we go back for one second.

132
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:43.279
We're also looking into aggressively not African
American youth scholarship program and develop a

133
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:50.960
robust refugee rehabitation program this year next
one, I think we have towards the

134
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.600
end now. These are our partners. So we have continued to grow MCMF

135
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.720
over years, which would not have
been possible without the unwavering support of the

136
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:07.080
County executive, County Council members,
general support of our donors and volunteers.

137
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.039
MCMF will continue to work with the
needs and priorities of the county government and

138
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.240
is looking forward to your support and
a county support to move this organization forward

139
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.519
and helping us serve the needy.
This is even more critical at this time

140
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:26.679
since we have lost two of our
great founding fathers. With this note,

141
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.559
if I have just one minute,
I just want to make a play us

142
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.000
or do I have a minute or
two? Not really? Okay? Seven

143
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.440
sixteen, so one way, okay. I really want to say, since

144
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.399
we have lost the fairs up and
we have lost Act of One, we

145
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.519
are really alone at this time and
we are waiting for support from all of

146
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.519
you. We want to continue,
we want to work and continue their legacy

147
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.759
and it's very important they do.
All of us, all of you stand

148
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.519
with us, support us, let
us grow and so that we can continue

149
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.360
and carry on the legacy of the
two Grade eight founders. So I just

150
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.200
want to thank you all for you
know, for being here and for the

151
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.879
and for bearing with me for the

in philanthropic and civic, in political
affairs all over the state and throughout this

222
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.480
county. As we celebrate this annual
IFTAR, I also want to recognize two

223
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:36.440

225
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:44.440

you and all of us as we do

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.599

are knew themselves in spirit and their
concerns for society at large. So may

ways, ways that I saw on the

one of your statewide elected officers. And

233
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:17.240
I'm so thrilled to be here with

240
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.599
Asi Hussain Asa Fussan, President of
MCMC, to come and say some concluding

241
00:25:52.680 --> 00:26:08.279
remarks. All right, son,
MCom I'm back. We'll keep it short

242
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:14.279
because we are coming up the loved
a don time though. We just wanted

243
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.880
to walk through and give it just
a quick overview of MCMC, mocmy County

244
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.640
Muslim Council, some of the things
that we've been working on over the past

245
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:29.759
year and an upcoming year or two. Um A lot a lot happened last

246
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:32.640
year. Right, we had a
major election cycle in twenty twenty two,

247
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.960
witnessed right in front of us here
for nothing else with a significantly different not

248
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:41.279
necessarily completely new, which is a
good thing. Community Council. Welcome to

249
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.440
the new members as well. Thank
you for being here. So MCNC.

250
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:52.559
You know we're focused on the political
and civic engagement arm representing our our Muslim

251
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:57.839
community and beyond. Some of the
twenty twenty two election engagement items that we

252
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:04.359
were involved in we're at the Maryland
governor governor's level meeting with various governor's candidates

253
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:11.559
expressing some of the views of the
Muslim community in terms of their improved respective

254
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.759
campaigns. Certainly we're engaged, We're
broke and others on the control a race

255
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:21.079
as well as the Attorney General's race
at the state level. At the county

256
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:26.680
level, we were very involved in
the accounty executives race. Maybe not so

257
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.240
much but a little bit on the
CANIDAC Council side of things. One of

258
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:38.559
our signature events last year actually was
conducting a candidates forum for the county executive

259
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.880
seat. And I'm really the thing
I'm really happy about, not just the

260
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:47.319
fact then Mark is with us again
today, congratulations Mark, is the fact

261
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:55.000
that in our you know, in
our forum that we held for the county

262
00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:02.160
executen seat, every single candidate representing
all parties participated, right. So it

263
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:04.440
wasn't a part as an event to
MS season act intended to do that.

264
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:10.480
Our intent is really to bring the
candidates board, present them to our community

265
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.400
members and allowed them to learn about
them, the respective campaigns, what they

266
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.799
represent, and allowed them to hear
from us our Muslim community as well.

267
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.599
So that was one of our signature
events last year as well Next Life.

268
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:32.680
Please a lot of different advocacy level
work that we have conducted there was again

269
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.319
both at the national, state and
mostly at the local levels. Just a

270
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.240
few items just to highlight, and
this not inclusive of all the different things

271
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.559
that we've been involved in and have
been advocating for. Is the anti slum

272
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:53.160
with Phobia built in the US Senate. We participated with our as a spawn

273
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.640
as sponsor, but the lead event
being Care Maryland and the United Maryland Muslim

274
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:04.400
Council on the Maryland Muslim Lobby Day
in Annapolis. The multiple engagements with the

275
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:07.880
County Council and a number of different
initiatives you guys are familiar with us hopefully

276
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.079
by now, and we'll cut more
and more familiar with us, as well

277
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:17.000
as various engagements with the mccarmy County
Public School System, which for those who

278
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.279
don't know, you know it's a
different level engagement than it is with the

279
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:23.680
County Council. Right. So,
again, the need to address the needs

280
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:29.440
of our community through various different channels
very important for us to do, and

281
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:37.559
we've recently also are beginning the steps
to launch a Youth Leadership Program, which

282
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.680
our youngest member of our board,
I mean, Ben Letfa is going to

283
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:47.799
be heading up to really kind of
rally our Muslim youth in the whole concept

284
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.240
of political activists and political engagement,
starting off with things that they might be

285
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.240
more interested in. Fact, there's
ways for us to learn what you know,

286
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.640
our youth are really more interested in
and kind of focus on things that

287
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:03.920
way get them more involved and get
them more interested in public service. Time

288
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.279
check, I think we've got one
minute, next line please, So with

289
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.279
that, I just want to again
thank everyone for being here today, all

00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.679
one is The Outbreak of a Monstrous
Infection. Please go and buy these two

356
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.400
books, as these two books bring
food to the table and as I am

357
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:52.000
a full time author. And this
one, the Modern Vocal Mentality, was

358
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:59.760
hot number one new release on MSON
and it was also MSON bestseller. And

359
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:05.639
a second one, The Outbreak of
a Monstrous Infection, was MSON bestseller.

360

00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:55.599
book that this book has great potential
for being for making as a movie and

368
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:04.760

372
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:28.480

without a sponsorship it is getting very impossible

373
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.079
to make these kind of shows.
That it requires a lot of time,

374
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:38.800
energy and money and resources. So
Rebel please play the next commercial for Hello

00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:10.159

chugar inspired creative improvisation. Healthy food to

390
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:15.880
go is a concept that will continue
to expand around the glow. Business owners

391
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:22.880

offering people The health food they need yet

392
