Summer Reflections: Visits, Voices, and Vision

From The Balkans, Bosnia to Istanbul, WHAF spent this summer walking alongside youth, grassroots leaders, and local communities. Through memorials, field visits, and lectures, we deepened our commitment to local leadership, collective memory, and community-driven change.

Highlights included:

• Supporting orphan and youth programmes with Islamic Relief Canada in Kosovo, Albania, and Bosnia

• Honouring the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide at a major memorial in Birmingham

• Participating in the Muslim Charities Convention in London

• Lecturing to the Egyptian Coordination of Associations in Istanbul

• Delivering the public lecture “Children of Earth” on legacy, service, and responsibility

As we wrap up Phase 1 of our Global Zakat Project and prepare for upcoming local dialogue sessions in Syria, our focus remains clear: Listening deeply, learning constantly, and building together.
