Pretend City Children’s Museum in Irvine hosted a “Learn about Hajj” event for children, on Thursday, Aug. 31, highlighting the importance of the Islamic holy pilgrimage to Mecca.
Children and families who attended the first-time event heard the story of hajj from a Muslim author and learned more through educational games, arts and crafts.
“We’ve worked hard to ensure the authenticity and integrity
of the programming and made sure Muslim community members and
influencers are involved in the event,” said Tayyaba Hassaan,
development specialist at the museum.
The event, she said, will hopefully send an uplifting message of unity and inclusiveness in Orange County, she said.
