The "Keep Well" programme got off to a start on 10 August 2016. We had Dua from HI Raza Haider followed by a talk on managing ageing through light Physical Exercise, Mindfulness, Yoga, Memory and Psychological Well Being Exercises and spiritual activity. A session of physiotherapy exercises on chairs was followed by yoga breathing exercises. This was followed by a group discussion on medical matters. As a means to strengthen memory the assembled group was advised to memorise sura kafiroon. Memory retention sessions will form part of the regular programme. The group was given a psychological task for next week. A rolling timetable will be supervised by key senior IMI doctors like the esteemed Dr Kadiwal, Dr Nawab Zaidi and Dr Shabih Zaidi.
We hope inshallah that this will be the beginning of an activity programme to keep middle aged people of our community fit physically, mentally and spiritually. We also hope that inshallah this will be the basis of the a programme of assisted living, comprising of day centre care, chaplaincy, home and respite care over the next 5 years inshallah. We also hope that this programme can be replicated across the world under the IMI brand to compliment the get well brand inshallah.
It was an excellent conference well planned, presented, and well attended. If individually traveling we may have never enjoyed the kind of reception the participants received throughout their stay in Iran.
I want to thank you all for giving me such a great opportunity to be a part of your team (in Haiti). It was a unique experience and I really enjoyed working with you all.
Thank you very much for the wonderful work you do. I have seen it first hand in Karbala during the Arbaeen camps and my son was fortunate to participate in two of the missions. I have made a donation today.
If InshAllah, I secure a residency in the upcoming match, I will owe the organizers and the speakers at the seminar more than they will take credit for.
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.
