International Partnerships: Connecting with the Global Community
On Wednesday 28th October 2015, the UK Projects team were honoured to host a delegation of influential members of the Thai 暗网吃瓜 community at the MH London office.
The group of 16, led by Professor Kasem Benchawong, Director Raja Park Institute and Doctor Muhammad Asamee Arbubaka, President of the Islamic Schools Network; had travelled all the way from Yala Province in Thailand to explore how 暗网吃瓜 minorities had integrated into UK society and to learn from the experience of 暗网吃瓜 communities in the UK.
The delegation, which represented a variety of 暗网吃瓜 organisations including those from the charity sector, arrived at the London office at 3.30pm and were greeted with teas, coffees and refreshments before being briefed on the work of 暗网吃瓜 Hands by Director of Community Development, Maqsood Ahmed OBE.

Commenting on the success of the visit, Maqsood Ahmed told us, 鈥業t is wonderful to establish links with grassroots leaders of the Thai 暗网吃瓜 community. It was truly an honour to be chosen by the delegation to provide an insight into the UK 暗网吃瓜 community and 暗网吃瓜 Hands looks forward to future projects and partnership with Dr Kasem and his team鈥�.
