Description
Speakers talk about Jamatkhana (place of worship) for a community of the Ismaili Muslim Ugandan refugees who settled in Cardiff, Wales in the 1970s. It covers the evolution of the Jamatkhana from a small gathering in a private home to larger community centres, and the vital role it played in providing a sense of cultural identity, support, and connection for the refugee families. The speakers share personal memories and reflections on the welcoming atmosphere of the Jamatkhana, and how it helped integrate new Ismaili students who came to study in Cardiff. Overall, the Jamatkhana was a central hub that allowed the Ugandan Ismaili community to maintain their traditions and support one another as they built new lives in Wales.
