KERRY Islamic Outreach Society is organising their second annual Islamic Cultural Exhibition at Brandon Hotel on Saturday, June 21 from 11am-5pm.
This is a event for the whole community in order meet other minorities. There will be gift bags, calligraphy, artefacts, tours and more.
Since its establishment in middle of 2013, Kerry Islamic Outreach society has been instrumental in assisting and helping wider community and various community groups and successfully accomplished various tasks and projects.
Their work has been acknowledged by the Mayor of Tralee, Tidy Town team and Irish coastal cleaning team which was primarily done by their youth wing.
They also successfully raised funds for Enable Ireland at the Islamic Exhibition which was held in August last year in The Brandon Hotel.
Their women’s section has successfully liaised themselves with the newly formed Kerry Women Interactive Network (KWIN) for future events. They are also in communication with Tralee International Resource Centre, Women Resource centre, Jigsaw, Adapt and various organisations.
“As the muslim population is County Kerry has grown many fold, there is a growing need to know the values and customs of local people in order to appreciate and acknowledge it along with settled non locals including naturalised citizens, students etc.” say organisers.
Kerry Islamic Outreach say they are hoping to serve as a bridge in the important matter along with other voluntary social organisations.
