Global non-profit group Who is Hussain? has paid tribute to Christchurch City Council for the leadership it demonstrated following the 15 March mosque shootings.
Representatives of the group, along with Iman Gamal Fouda from the Al Noor Masjid, presented Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Council's Citizens and Community General Manager Mary Richardson with a plaque in recognition of the Council’s compassion and hard work in the immediate aftermath of the deadly attacks.
Members of the Who is Hussain? group today presented Christchurch City Council with a plaque recognising the organisation's efforts since the mosque shootings.
“We have witnessed your hard work and admire your thoughtfulness after the devastating events that took place in Christchurch on March 15th.
You have shown New Zealand and the whole world your courage and selflessness by giving help to those from whom you had no hope of getting anything back,’’.
Says Who is Hussain? Christchurch Branch representative Zahra Hussaini.
“We deeply feel that if you had not played your vital role in the background to support the victims and Christchurch city, we would not have been able to stand on our feet again as a nation.’’
Who is Hussain? is inspired by the example of 7th century revolutionary leader Hussain who championed social justice and equality. The group, which has branches in Auckland and Christchurch, encourages communities around the world to organise charitable events for the common good.
