Some of Mohammed’s ideas are to collaborate with other charitable organizations, like the Rotary. For instance, Toastmasters would learn more on being leaders & volunteers; conversely Rotarians may benefit by improving their public speaking skills. He is also looking for ideas to entice young people to join their organization.
