Exciting day on Manchester muslim school .

Mohammed Alkabbi - UAE

امضينا وقت مميز ورائع جداً في مدارس مانشستر للمسلمين ، زرنا مدرستين واحده للبنات وواحده للأولاد ، وكانت هذه الزياره بعد رحلة شاقة ومبكره بالطائرة من مدينة انفريس الأسكتلنديه إلى مدينة مانشستر الإنجليزية .

في البدايه زرنا مدرسة البنات وواكن الأستقبال جميل ، وجلسنا مع فتيات من المدرسه ودار الحوار في أمور عديده وكان شيقا وممتعا ، ومن ثم أطلعنا على المدرسه في جوله مميزه ، وبعدها غادرنا المدرسه نحن الشباب وتركنا البنات في المدرسه لينضموا إلى طالباتها في ورش عمل فنيه .

خرجنا نحن الشباب برفقة المشرفين إلى مدرسة الأولاد وكان في استقبالنا 5 اولاد من المدرسه هم : جواد وعمر وعلي وعويس واسماعيل ، على ما اضن .واخذونا في جوله في المدرسه واطلعنا على اهم اقسام مبنى المدرسه . وتعرفت انا شخصيا على الشباب الخمسه وكان من المفرح لي أن اجد لي اصدقاء في بريطانيا .

ومن ثم ومن خلال عودتنا لملاقة البنات في مدرسة البنات تفجأنا بأن الطلبه والطالبات قد حضروا لنا كيكتين ونود ان نشكرهم على حسن ضيافتهم .

Mohammed Alkabbi - UAE

Mohammad’s early start

5 AM… The Day starts. Inverness Airport, then to Manchester.. We went there to Islamic schools, we had an interesting chat with the students, the main topic was the Hijab, in the girls school, what did led to continue the religious chat later at the dinner… The positive side it’s that we had a way to contact more with each other, but it doesn’t mean that we found any solutions or anything new… Same words, different people, that’s how the world is going, a soft war where the people left their guns, and focussed on choosing clever words and accents to approve that they’re right… Anyway thanks offscreen for the contact. I wish if we could pass from the contact to the understanding level…

Jawahir’s thoughts

It was an  amazing day. Actually we started early in the morning, we got up at 5 o’clock and packed our things. We went to the airport and flew at 7 o’clock. We arrived to Manchester at 8 o’clock. We met a muslim guy called Murad and he took us to to the Islamic High School for girls. We got in and saw Ayshaa “a science teacher” and she took us to the heed teacher’s office. We introduced our selves to the heed teacher and talked with her. Then we met three of the students and had a conversation with them about higab ” wearing a scarf”. we asked the girls some quistions about higab  and they were very confident when they answered those quistions. It was lovely to see muslims girls who love Islam and wearing higab. After that we went with the girls to do art in the art room in the school. we made beautiful masks with the girls’ help. The taxi was waiting for us in front of the school. We finished our masks and went to Manchester United Club. We injoied our visit to the club. We took some photos and bought souvineirs from there. we came back to the school and had lunch. The cake that was made by the girls was very dilicious. It was really a nice day.

Bashayer at the Islamic School

Today we wok up little bit earlier than any time before cause we had such a busy day with lots of activites to do, first of all traveling to manchester and went to visit the the islamic school for girls , talking to them and making some art work and filming with other which made this day one of the best days in the whole expedition espicily when we talked about the (hejab) every one had a qusetion to ask and aome comments to say , after that we went to the manchester united museam and centre , i really dont have anything to do with sport or football but i felt happy because its a famouse team and when i come back home i will have lots of stories to tell so i’m very exited and cant wait to see what next :)
