Children from east London based Amani Foundation took advantage of the summer recession in Government as they were treated to a tour of the houses of parliament. They were hosted by Poplar & Canning Town MP Jim Fitzpatrick, who also gave the youngsters a tour of the house of lords.
Ismael Rahman, aged 8 said; " When no one was looking I quietely sat where the Prime Minister sits. the room where MPs sit looks much smaller than it does on the tv."
Momtaz Farzana, aged 11 said; " We learnt so much from Mr Fitzpatrick today. He was very nice and although he was nervous to see us kids at first instead of the adults he is used to dealing with, he was an excellent tour guide. It was funny when he said he would try to not talk like a politician so that we could understand him."
Amani Foundation Chief Executive, Ashuk Hussain JP said; "Amani Foundation work with communities. Our team and service users have had an invaluable history lesson today. It was a delightful and thoroughly enjoyable learning experience and forthis we would like to say a big thank you to Mr Fitzpatrick."
Amani Foundation is a community organisation based in the heart of the London borough of Tower Hamlets. Members of the organisation work with local communities to offer support for families, recreation, heritage trips as well as facilitating activities for homework clubs for youngsters
