Tracy Charles

Tracy Charles: She only converted to Islam last August, walking into the Hamilton Mountain Mosque with little experience with the religion. So she has no history of skipping multiple meals or pushing through sweltering temperatures without having a glass of water, according to CBC. Awareness is the goal for Charles, a former Catholic who learned about Islam from a friend last May. When she was growing up in St. Catharines, her family didn't go to church much, and she wasn't religious as an adult either and This is Tracy Charles's first Ramadan, a holy month of dawn-to-dusk fasting and good deeds, and it hasn't been easy. I was so worried about going without food or water, she said during a multi-faith event at the mosque on Monday. But every time you get the hunger pain, you think about why you are doing this. It makes you very aware. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
