This morning in Carlow was nothing short of empowering! ✨

Today’s MSOE Young Women’s Conference brought together five powerful speakers, each tackling different topics centered around facing challenges, owning our stories, and stepping into our purpose as young Muslim women living in Ireland.

The energy in the room was truly special inspiring not just our young girls, but the mothers who came out to support and participate as well. The event finished with an incredible Q&A session full of honest conversations, shared experiences, and actionable advice.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a beautiful morning of connection and growth!

Every child deserves to return to school feeling equal, prepared and excited for the year ahead.

TONIGHT, THE HEAVENS OPENED 💔🌧️
Tonight, as people queued outside the GPO for a hot meal and nourishing food, the heavens opened.
We had been serving for about an hour when the rain came down — heavy and relentless. After such a beautiful summer, we haven't experienced rain like that in a long time.
For many of us, heavy rain means getting indoors as quickly as possible. But for the people standing in our queue tonight, particularly those sleeping rough, there was nowhere to go.
People huddled beneath the GPO trying desperately to find some shelter. Clothes were soaked through. Rainwater ran down people's faces as they stood patiently waiting. Nobody complained. They simply stayed because they needed food.
And that is heartbreaking.
The rain has no mercy. It doesn't distinguish between a child, an elderly person, someone using crutches or a walking aid, a person with a visible disability, or somebody who will spend tonight sleeping on the streets.
Tonight, just under 400 hot meals were served, and we barely had enough to make sure everyone received one.
Our six six-foot tables were completely laden with food — hot meals, nourishing items, snacks, treats and whatever else we could provide to help people through another night.
But no matter how much food is on those tables, it's difficult to watch hundreds of people standing in pouring rain because they have no choice but to remain there if they want to eat.
Week after week, the need continues.
We couldn't do any of this without the incredible people who donate, volunteer, cook, provide food and support our work. Every meal handed across those tables is possible because somebody cared enough to help.
To everyone who continues to stand with us — thank you. ❤️
If you would like to support our work and help us continue providing hot meals and essential support to those who need it most, please consider making a donation.
Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us keep those tables full.

Investing in Our Youth Team 🌱

On Sunday, 9th August, the MGOE Core Committee (7 young women), together with four new volunteers, took part in a valuable training session facilitated by Dr. Liz McLoughlin.

The session focused on strengthening teamwork, communication and creating a consistent approach to supporting the young people attending our Youth Club.
Through practical activities and real-life scenarios, volunteers explored boundaries, managing challenging situations, responding to different behaviours and individual needs, and understanding when concerns should be escalated or referred appropriately.

An important outcome of the training was the decision to begin developing a new mission statement for the MSOE/MGOE Youth Department, reflecting our values, our work and our commitment to young people.
A huge thank you to Dr. Liz for her guidance and to our volunteers for their continued commitment.
Investing in our volunteers is an investment in our young people.

⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE – LADIES’ SWIMMING ⚠️
Unfortunately, we were notified by the swimming pool today that the maintenance work which began last week has not yet been completed and is expected to continue for the next couple of weeks. At present, there is no water in the pool, so our upcoming ladies’ swimming session cannot go ahead.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience, particularly as this situation is completely outside of our control.
🎟️ REFUNDS:
Anyone who purchased a ticket through Eventbrite will receive a full refund. These refunds will be processed on Friday morning when our office reopens. Please don’t worry — if you purchased a ticket, your refund will be issued.
In the meantime, we are looking at alternative swimming pools so that we can hopefully continue our ladies-only swimming sessions while the work is being completed.
As soon as we have an alternative arrangement confirmed, we will let everyone know.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. 💕
