Thank you so much

As I have done my work, over the past decades, I’ve concluded that one of the most important forces in development is civil society. If you think about the countries around the world which have had fragile governments but which have still made progress, there are umpteen examples of countries which have made progress, because they have had strong civil society.

1992, May 5: On May 5, Mawlana Hazar Imam was shown projects of the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) at Boulia village and at the Ayesha Abed Foundation by Mr. Fazle Abed, Executive Director of BRAC.

Arusha. Children of pastoralist communities in the Arusha region hope to start benefiting from the nurturing and development projects that are being implemente by the Aga Khan University (AKU).

The three-year project was launched on Wednesday April 27, by Arusha Regional Commissioner John Mongella who called on all government institutions in the region to help in supporting the project.

The President announced a new, groundbreaking initiative to support and connect civil society across the globe through the launch of Regional Civil Society Innovation Centers, in partnership with the Government of Sweden and the Aga Khan Development Network. Over the next two years, up to six networked Regional Civil Society Innovation Centers will be created worldwide.

Canadian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dr Lilly Nichols has appreciated the facilities required for “inclusive learning” at the new campus of the Aga Khan Academy, reports UNB.

“When I met the new batch of Aga Khan Academy teachers, I was immediately impressed by their palpable enthusiasm to inspire a new generation of students committed to lifelong learning and global citizenship,” she said while meeting the teachers at the Academy recently.

I think of this ceremony as marking the history of this wonderful country and its relationship with a faith which we all practice. As we look forward to the future, it's important that we carry with us the values of our faith. That they be there around the world, all the time, amongst all Muslims.

So I take this occasion to say how happy I am to be here to participate with you in the the launch of the stamp process and I wish happiness, good success in the practice of faith and that we all work together for peace in our world.

Thank you
