Assalam o Alaikum
My dear Family of FJMCAANA ,
First of all I am grateful to Allah ( SWT) who gave me an opportunity to serve my Alma mater . I am truly humbled and honoured to have this opportunity and with the help of Allah ( SWT) I will try to achieve our goals together for our Alumni . In Shaa Allah
We are going through unprecedented times of our lives . Covid -19 Pandemic has effected the whole world and there are lots of uncertainties. Many people and frontline health workers have lost their lives and many people are still suffering with this disease in hospitals or at homes . My sincere , heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with all those people and their families.
I will like to take a moment to thank all frontline health workers in general and our Fjites in particular who are working tirelessly at the frontline to help and protect their patients. You all are real heroes . May Allah ( SWT) protect all of you and your families and everyone around you . Ameen
Due to these challenging times we could have very limited activities in 2020 but I am really proud of our Alumni that has played a vital role by raising online funds in month of Ramadan . We were able to raise funds for FJMU scholarships , COVID -19 related PPE supply at SGRH , Local Food pantries in USA , AFJOG projects and Mother and Child Hospital. May Allah ( SWT) accept everyone’s donations and efforts . Ameen
Since vaccine is available now in many countries, there is light at the end of the tunnel and we are really hoping that we will be able to meet and see each other . I invite all of you to join us at APPNA summer meeting in July .
As President of FJMCAANA I am really excited and motivated to bring our alumni together. Our women only alumni has all the strength and talent to do great things together. I must say that for FJMCAANA “ sky is the limit “
