As thousands of Muslims across Trinidad and Tobago begin their fast today for the month of Ramadan, the organisation, Muslims of T&T, said it will be pooling resources to assist St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Imam Shiraz Ali said there are about 2,000 Muslims on that island and they have decided to come together and help the people of St Vincent by collecting food items, foodstuff et cetera.
The Imam said “Some of our brothers are also applying for permission to go to St Vincent and we will work with the local government authorities to get that permission to go across to St Vincent and spend some time and assist in whatever relief effort they can.”
He said mosques across the country are acting as collection centres for anyone willing to donate relief items.
