Testimonials

Growing up in the United States we are always reminded of the advantages we were given over the people in our native countries. It is from that constant reminder that our generation of American born students feels that it is necessary to give back to communities that we are nowhere near. This however becomes a daunting task as we are trying to reach cities and places many of us have never even visited. This is where Imamia Medics International comes into play. IMI has been my outlet for philanthropic work since before I entered into high school. It is through IMI that I see my efforts, here in New Jersey, manifest into something much greater around the world. IMI has helped me realize that ambition alone is not enough to change the world; in order to achieve the changes we wish to see in this world we require ambition, vision, and most importantly execution. That is why I have joined IMI, so that my ambition and vision can meet their execution.
