The debates around racism, cultures & rights continue.

At 11 o'clock, on the 11th day, of the 11th month, let's remember everyone, regardless of race or religion, & the sacrifices made for each & every one of us throughout our past & recent history.

The Karim Foundation was founded in memory of Abdul Karim, who arrived in Cambridge from East Pakistan (now #Bangladesh) in 1957.

We aim to continue helping those in need as he taught us to.

Cambridge Central Mosque recently invited local key workers for tours and refreshments, showing appreciation for their efforts during the pandemic.

Really enjoyed filming the Mosque's #ThankYouDay event for @itvanglia – plus a few words from Trustee @ShahidaRahman.
