Summary:

In the heart of North Minneapolis stands an old Mosque that once was a Church. If one listens carefully the whispers of bright ideas and excitement can be heard from hidden pearls. They call themselves the Sunnah sisters and are a group of young, dedicated Muslim women that want to bring change to their community despite all obstacles. As their president I have come up with not just an idea, but a MISSION! here it goes!
1: Training Group(leadership)week -preparing for the challenge
2:Church hopping any one?- going to different churches/Synagogues in Twin Cities speaking about diff stereotypes of muslims/ calling them to work together for common good
3:Walking a mile in my shoes health week- targeting minorities/somali/ethiopian/latino ect..addressing healthy lifestyle changes teaming up with universities to organize a community marathon walk for a healthier MN
4:Pink hijab week- passing out free hijabs(headscarf) around the twin cities letting other women of faith experience a day as an hijabi. Answering burning question on why musliim women wear the hijab and also comparing diff dress codes across diff religions.(fashion show at Saint Catherine University with the sisters of Saint Joseph)
5:Open house(Mosque) Day
6:Save a school save a community week- invite community members/leaders of different religious groups to North High school dialogue on what we can do as a community to make education priority in a neighborhood like north MPLS and Cedar/stop gang violence/drug addiction/lower drop out rates(work with Project success)
7:Start a daily/weekly show for youth by youth of all the issues i have mentioned thus far at local television station(MTN)
-This challenge will only be the beginning for this group if accomplished we will make long term goals on sustaining our success through out the year. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." –Margaret Mead
