Crestwood has been very fortunate to build a partnership with the Noor Cultural Centre in the last few years. Kassim Ebrahim and Samira Khanji have welcomed us and have taught Crestwood students some very important lessons about Islam and tolerance and diversity. We visit each year, and members of the Noor community generously have shared their personal stories and views and have agreed to be part of this project. One of the people we met this year was Charazad Fahmy, who was interviewed by members of Mr. Hawkins’ World Religions class in April 2012. Mrs. Fahmy shared with the students her impressions of the Arab Spring, and of her own life in Egypt, and she brought to life so many of the issues presently facing Canadian Muslims.
