Buenos Aires, Argentina - 12,431,000



Visiting a mosque wasn't something I expected to do during my stay in Buenos Aires. Yet there is a sizable Muslim community in Argentina and a georgeous mosque in Buenos Aires, built by Kind Fahd of Saudi Arabia, that I've wanted to visit since I arrived. Needless to say I was very excited when another Rotary Ambassadorial scholar from Alabama, Rashmee, invited me to go to the mosque with her one night during Ramadan. Rashmee is a wonderful Ambassador, not only for the United States and for Rotary, but also for Islam. She is very open, friendly, and cheerfully and willingly answers anyone's questions about her religion.
