Free Quran classes held in Hulhumale’, organised by Housing Development Corporation (HDC) and Al-Asr, a Non-Governmental Organisation has drawn an encouraging response from the local community.
Registration for these classes were opened on 4th February, with all slots being filled in 24hrs. HDC has detailed that a total of 103 children between the ages of 7 and 10 have enrolled in this program, with registration for these classes now being closed.
HDC has stated that this programme is being carried out under a joint agreement between HDC and Al-Asr organisation signed last September. The one-year agreement encompasses not just Quran classes, but also religious sermons.
