The Africa Federation Women’s Board (AFWB) in collaboration with the KSI Jamaat of Arusha held a communication workshop on Tuesday 14th October 2014 for young couples titled “LETS TALK”.
The Workshop was conducted by Brother Hameed Sheriff of Arusha and attended by ten couples.
The Workshop discussed on issues that cause miscommunication between couples and the way a Man/Woman thinks and in the way they convey their thoughts to their spouses.
Activity worksheets were done by the couples which gave them an insight to how much they know each other.
The participants were impressed with the following arrangements/activities at the Workshop:
- Worksheets/activities
- Seating arrangement
- Critical thinking
- Complimenting the spouse
- Interaction
Below are some of the feedbacks received from the couples on how the workshop would help them improve their relation

- Be supportive
- Give space
- Spend time with spouse
- Appreciate and pay attention/active listening
- Unconditional love and not try and change the partner
The Africa Federation Women Board appreciates the selfless services of Br. Hameed Sheriff and his efforts in conducting the session. We pray for his long and healthy life with abundance of happiness and successes, Ameen.
The Board also records its appreciation to Arusha Jamaat for their continued support and co-operation.
