Community Brother - Our City, Our Story - Rockford, Illinois

You'd be forgiven if you thought Mustafa Abdall was just another middle school teacher. This Lincoln Middle School teacher is someone who recognizes opportunities and makes them happen. In this episode, it was very difficult to capture the man who is everywhere. Perhaps it didn't convey that fact well enough… However, I wanted to show someone who so loves his immigrant communities, that he actively creates programming to help. His heart is massive and works tirelessly to create a better Rockford.
