The small team led by Basharat Hussain and Basharat Hanif travelled to southeast Turkey to deliver money collected by the mosque’s congregation and hand out food.
Volunteers from the mosque spent the anniversary of the earthquake (February 6) handing out food to hundreds of people at a commemoration event at the Kahramanmaraş cemetary, where around 5,000 victims of last year’s disaster are buried.
