Home Creations Owners Recieve Community Justice’s 2013 Humanitarian Award

MOORE, Okla. - Nov. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- MOORE, OKLAHOMA      Jalal and Mohammad Farzaneh were recent recipients of Oklahoma Center for Community Justice’s 2013 Humanitarian Award. Jalal and Mohammad Farzaneh, owners of Home Creations (www.homecreations.com), while building over 500 homes in Oklahoma this year, have also worked tirelessly to help promote understanding among peoples of various cultures. They have provided funding for educational speakers and events at universities and civic gatherings. Their generosity has also included building homes for Habitat for Humanity, and giving to organizations such as United Way, The American Heart Association, Susan G. Komen, among others. They encourage their employees’ involvement in charitable organizations as well.

In his acceptance speech, Jalal said, “We were born and raised in Iran, and growing up in Iran, we had limited exposure to people of different faiths.  In 1978, we first came to Oklahoma as college students, and the experience of life in Oklahoma has changed us profoundly as human beings. We strongly believe that all faiths have something to say to each other, and that those conversations between faiths are some of the most important we as citizens can have.  For this reason, we have supported numerous events promoting interfaith dialogue.  ” Mohammad followed with, “We are so fortunate to live in a state like Oklahoma and a country like the United States where freedom is guaranteed to all citizens, regardless of their race, religion, or ethnic origin.”

Their remarks were received warmly by a large group of attendees at the Oklahoma City University’s Atrium Bass Music Center.

The Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice is dedicated to achieving respect and understanding for all people through education, advocacy and dialogue.

Other recipients of the Oklahoma City Humanitarian Awards were: MindyHarris Silk, Dr. Robert Long, Dr. J. David Macey, Jr. and the Oklahoman Women’s Coalition.
