Women of Faith Build Hope and Homes

Raheel Raza

"Since I came to Canada twenty eight years ago, there has always been an urge to give back to this wonderful country that is my adopted land and that has given me and my family a roof over our heads, jobs, security and most of all freedom. I realize that many people don't have these luxuries in their native lands or take them for granted in Canada" Raheel Raza
