9. Emdad Rahman; Building Wells in Ghana, Life and Death in Mecca and Supporting Refugees in Calais
London born Muslim Emdad Rahman dedicates all of his spare time to charity – work that sees him building wells in Ghana, helping at orphanages in Morocco and delivering aid to refugees in Calais. His story about his first trip to Mecca will make you shiver.. The son of Bangladeshi immigrants, he grew up in Tower Hamlets, a vibrant London borough of huge contrasts. He’s a published football poet, yes that is a thing, and feels that the Gallagher brothers – yes those guys from Oasis – can do no wrong.
