For decades Muslims in Mombasa have lived in harmony with Christians with both religions respecting each other and even sharing with each other during the festive season. During Ramadhan,Easter,Christmas and Idd celebrations you would find everyone eating together and sharing with their neighbors what they had prepared.
Today, many arrived at City Mall to run their errands and were surprised to find our Muslim community of Mombasa brothers welcoming them with roses,flowers and water as the Christians celebrated Christmas day.
This struck me as such an amazing gesture that these young men set as an example that we are one and all Kenyans. We need more people like these young men and today we celebrate them.
The team is planning to go further to the streets to extend their love and kindness.
If you see them,thank them on our behalf.
Let us look out for one another and live together in harmony. Merry Christmas!
wow so so touching you guys are great souls may Allah bless you today and always .You are doing a great job thumbs up.

This is heart-warming! May peace be upon you all. May I also share with you the similar act of love and hope for humanity by our brothers and sisters in England: http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/touching-pictures-from-the-birmingham-mosque-thats-running-a-christmas-soup-kitchen–bJgJgvGDPig

Its a very good gesture towards humanity. But dont understand why at City Mall where poor people dont come. They r on the streets or in the slums. Next time please give it a thought of venue.
Bless u all. Ameen

Dear Tasneem
Thank you for your comments. Let me shed light on a few things that you are not aware of.
Firstly, after a lot of thought and planning City Mall was chosen as the perfect venue as we wanted to target all walks of life in Kenya. City Mall receives individuals of every single tribe/race/religion. it is also a hub for where the rich and the poor meet.
Secondly, those who took part in this event help the impoverished and vulnerable of society however this work has never been publicized, an example is the Milele Education Centre in Mombasa if you would like to confirm.
Thank you once again for your comments, if you would like to add anything else as long as it is not based on assumptions as your comment above please leave your email below and one of us will be in touch.
Have a good day.
