Masjid al-Dahab (Golden Mosque)

Located at the end of Globo de Oro Street in Quiapo, the Masjid al-Dahab, popularly known as the Golden Mosque, because of the golden color of its dome, was built in 1976 thru the initiative of then First Lady Imelda Romualdez-Marcos to coincide with the visit of Libya’s former strongman Muammar Gaddafi, which was then cancelled. The mosque is the largest in the city and has become the center of Islam in Manila

Reaching Out

Last October 11, 2008, the Flickristasindios, an online photo-sharing community (Flickr) group, in cooperation with the Red Cross - Rizal Chapter held a gift giving and feeding activity to 100 pupils of Pantay Elementary School in Teresa, Rizal. A first in its many group activities. It is the group's way of sharing the blessings received by many of its members, some of whom are Filipinos abroad, and at the same time doing its civic and social share to the nation.

The activity started with lectures on hygiene by Red Cross Volunteers to the selected pupils, after which, each of the kids were given gift bags containing hygiene products like soap, tooth-paste, tooth-brush, etc. Each child was also given an English grammar book.

Before leaving, each child was treated with a glass of milk and a bowl of hot porridge.

A speck of salt in the ocean - meager as it may, but if it could be replicated a dozen folds, this act by a small group of photographers could make a significant impact to communities longing for social support.

Kudos to the organizers of this endeavor, the Flickristasindios, and the Red Cross!!!
