Message from the Global Youth Wing Chairman

Whilst we thank our outgoing secretary for her services to the role and the WMO and wish her the very best in her job aspirations and family, we look to the future with excitement and anticipation.

Working within the WMO for the sake of Allah SWT is a huge privilege and blessing and a wonderfully satisfying way to work for the community to bring about real change. It is immensely satisfying to drive oneself for the benefit of others and also develop one’s own skill set, outlook and perspective on life whilst improving on that journey.

I can categorically say from personal experience that working within the charitable sector as a volunteer at any level should have profoundly satisfying, positive and fruitful impact on one’s own life and development Inshallah.

Within the WMO there is a momentum of change which wants to recognize and promote the immense talent that prevails and that we have been blessed with within the global Memon community.

I am really excited at the prospect of interviewing candidates for this position and whilst we know that only one position is available, we hope to be using this opportunity to bring into the WMO in some way all potential candidates applying for this role.

May Allah SWT guide us on the straight path and strive to do his work for the benefit of others without pride or prejudice – Aameen.

Wasalaam
