to be taken to combat it. The title of the presentation is "Protecting the
Loved Ones at Home."

We are very excited to report that we are going to kick start our campaign in Atlanta,
GA, this March. On March 3rd, 2012, we will be introducing Project Sakinah
and its campaign to the audience of a Family Symposium at Masjid Hamzah in Alpharetta,
GA. We are also looking forward to having more collaborative work with "Muslim
Men against Domestic Violence", another anti-domestic violence group based
in Atlanta.
