| Iftekhar Bashir. Contact: Ibashir@al-kahf.org The common string running through my personal and professional life has been a focus on trying to bring about a Holistic approach to Education. Personal Life: I enjoy time with my family. I am married with three children and two wonderful grandchildren, Alhamdulillah. I also stay mentally and physically active through my numerous interests. Professional life: My Professional background is as a Science teacher. I have been a senior management and leadership team member in a few Secondary Schools. I enjoyed working with likeminded dedicated professionals. I served a three-year term on the Aylesbury Masjid Executive Committee; this gave me a real insight into the needs of our local community. These experiences have equipped and motivated me to be a small cog in the immensely important and exciting dawa work of Al-Kahf Foundation. |
