At the invitation of the Saudi Boy Scouts, Faraj and Ahmed attended the Hajj in 2006. They were all over the news and were interviewed on both children's programs as well as major news bulletins and BBC religious shows. The whole group appeared on BBC1 cooking stir fry on the Heaven and Earth show. there are lots of links to their story, but first... here is an explanation of Hajj http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4180965.stm their links: (the scouts dealt with tough questions about deaths on the Hajj and how scared they were at times. They had been thoroughly briefed by the Scouts Press Officer and did an outstanding job. We are all immensely proud of them.)
