As Ramadan is fastly approaching there are a lot of poor, needy, and deprived Muslim Communities, Masjids, and Individuals that things are very difficult for before and during Ramadan. As Muslims, giving charity to the poor and needy is one of the recommended acts that Islam has prescribed for us to attain Jannah.

On Friday the 26th November 2021, Amb Tejan Ishaq Kamara the Executive Director of Initiative for Children with Special Needs hosted the grand finale of the Future Leaders Initiative SL essay and poetry competition 2021. It was an educative and inspiring event, as many people attended. The theme was "Reimagine Sierra Leone without Violence against Children".

As professional educators, child advocates and youth in development workers, we'll continue to render our professional & humanitarian support to children and young people in our own little spaces. Thanks to the entire membership of the Future Leaders Initiative for such a wonderful event, and thanks for having me as your host. I am grateful and I remain humbled.
