Place: ISI Library

Br. Raed , Iqbal.M , Qudsia. Iqbal, Qamar Mohd, Amaan Shafi and 17 youth.

Presiding Officer: Imam Zia.

Meeting notes:

   -> Akeaf Syed 9th grade youth started with recitation.

   -> Imam Zia gave a brief Qatera for 5 to 10 mins on the topic Honesty and Sincerity followed by Q & A.

   -> Four youth presented their first project. (Takbeer)

  -> Each of them were given feedback by assigned My-Lead co-ordinators.

 -> Youth were asked to write 3 sentences using word of the day (Honesty) for an impromptu question. And question of the day was " If you get an extra burito when ordering at your local shop what would you do?

 -> Youth were given an overview of project # 2 and were asked to come prepared to present in next My-Lead session.

 -> The only feedback to parents will be "MashaAllah youth has done a good job in coming prepared for Project # 1 but they spoke for only 1 to 2 minutes. Please help them by providing material for a topic and ask them to prepare a speech that can be done in 3 to 5 minutes." They need to speak for more time not just one or two minutes.

-> Those who did not get a chance to speak or present project # 1. InshaAllah we will increase time of our meeting sessions so that we can listen to maximum of the youth.

Jazakamullah Qairon,

Iqbal .M
