| Friday Night Reflections: Transforming Passion Into Purpose |
Get ready to be inspired! This evening, the beloved Friday Night Reflections returns for a special episode, delving deep into Global Encounters, the newest Jamati institution established by Mawlana Hazar Imam to unite and uplift the global Jamat. Join host Salima Ladhani as we discover the origins and aims behind this groundbreaking initiative through an exclusive Ismaili TV conversation with Malik Talib, Chairman of the Leaders International Forum. Explore how Global Encounters fosters talent and creates transformational experiences in arts, culture, sports and leadership development. Hear stories from members of the Jamat, whose passions have blossomed through Global Encounters programs. From developing artistic talents at Jubilee Arts festivals, to completing alongside brothers and sisters at the Jubilee Games, to creating lifelong friends from around the world at international camps, these first-hand accounts showcase the tangible impact. So pour some green tea, gather the family, and tune in this evening at iicanada.live. Can't catch the live stream? Watch it anytime after at iicanada.org/fnr. |

"As we look ahead, the Jamat is likely to become more and more a global community. But the essence of the Jamat, the ethics of our faith, the principles which we believe in and which we seek to practice in our lives are the essence of how our community will stay united." Mawlana Hazar Imam, Aiglemont, December 2016 |
