National Volunteer Week: April 18-24
National Volunteer Week: April 18-24
The theme for this year's National Volunteer Week is The Value of One, The Power of Many. This theme allows us to reflect on the year we have had – one full of change and the unknown for our Jamat. This year has demonstrated that there is value in one act, while the power of many enables us to thrive together.
There will be a virtual appreciation event for all Ismaili Volunteers, “One IV, One Jamat”, on Saturday, April 24 at 9 pm MT. The speaker will be Ahmed Ali (otherwise known as Knowmadic), who is a multi-award winning Poet Laureate, community organizer, public speaker, actor, musician and youth worker. Ali has dedicated his time to enabling and empowering diverse communities around the world, and is the co-founder of Edmonton’s spoken word collective: Breath in Poetry.
