Our dedicated board member, Zeba Zebunnesa represented AMMWEC, at the Masjid Bilal Islamic Center. Thanks to donations made by board members, friends, and the House of Ruach, we were able to serve Iftar to Muslim and non-Muslim brothers & sisters in need. Ramadan Kareem!
AMMWEC is honored to have partnered with the New England Bangladeshi American Foundation (NEBAF), a Bangladeshi organization run by women based in Cambridge, MA. NEBAF is a grass-roots organization that we are proud to partner with to continue empowering women and Muslims in Greater Boston. AMMWEC and NEBAF raised money and distributed Iftar boxes to Muslim and non-Muslim families in need.
Our board members Bushra and Debbie donated grocery items and toiletries on behalf of AMMWEC to the St. Killian food pantry in Mission Viejo. During the holy month of Ramadan, it is customary for Muslims to give back to their community, which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Thank you to everyone who donated! Without your support, we would not be able to help people in need.
Join AMMWEC for our Ramadan Cooking Series. Our first guest was Jolie Ahmed, a Bangladeshi-American cook with her own YouTube channel. She cooked fried eggplant, cauliflower pakora, lentil and veggie pakora, vegetable noodles, and Bengali fish curry. Watch the video to find out Jolie’s traditional Bangladeshi recipes!
