"This project has really changed my life. I have made new friends and learnt to appreciate the buildings and the history of my surroundings so much more. I am a Muslim and many people have quite negative thoughts towards us at the moment. I have a strong belief in Allah and I think that he has given me this opportunity to make a difference in my life, by making friends and learning to see things differently through other people."
