A woman takes compassion to a warzone
‘I am not a
writer. I never intended to write this book, but the Almighty Allah has plans
for all of us.’
In August 2011, the Africa 1 Aid Convoy set off from
South Africa to travel up the length of the continent and enter Gaza via Egypt.
The convoy had been made possible by the generosity of Muslims all over South
Africa. One of the people attached to the project was Shenaaz Farred from
Johannesburg. Gaza was being bombarded by Israel at the time. Nevertheless the
convoy entered with its precious cargo of medical supplies, generators, water
desalination units, and sundry educational requirements. What happened during the
seven days of their visit forms the substance of this book. Among the detritus of
war the inextinguishable spirit of humanity shines through.
Shenaaz Farred
writes with extraordinary compassion yet with an equally extraordinary absence
of rancour. She has been married for thirty-eight years and has four children
and ten grandchildren. Her passion for
charity work drove her into the heart of Gaza and back. ‘I love Gaza and the people there. I will continue to
do all I can to join hands with them and support them in their time of need.’
Let us not go in the history books of those who didn’t care.
