KMWA kids group joined the Gillingham Scouts and Explorers for an Event at Grange Farm

A day of activities and adventure was organised today as the KMWA kids group joined the Gillingham Scouts and explorers at lower Grange Farm in Sandling.


There were an amazing variety of activities giving boys and girls between 10 and 18 years the opportunity to try out new activities. Those who participated had a great time and our thanks goes to Brother Faheem and his team for their effort in arranging this.

Lights Festival Rochester

This year on February 11th-12th Rochester lit up with Medway Lights Festival transforming Rochester’s historic iconic buildings and spaces into works of art. KMWA’s Azeem Nader, Rizwana Shelly and Ajaib Hussain participated with a discussion on what makes Medway great and beautiful and what we love about it. It was fantastic to see the whole community come together in praise of Medway from young to old who have arrived in the UK and are trying to build a better life.

International Holocaust Memorial Day

Every year the International Holocaust Memorial Day is held on the 27th January and remembrance services are held locally, alternating between the Chatham Memorial Synagogue and Rochester Cathedral.

As well as prayers, exhibitions, and poems there are also plays by school children to commemorate and remember not only the Holocaust atrocities and persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany during World War II but also the recent genocides that have happened in Darfur, Bosnia, Cambodia, Rohingya Muslims in Burma/Myanmar and more recently the Uyghur Muslims genocide/persecution in China.
