Message from the Chairman In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Peace and Blessing be upon our Beloved Prophet Muhammad, His Companions and His Family
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
As I began to write this message, I realized another year has passed in the blink of an eye; however it has been a fruitful and challenging year for me as the chairman of Hong Kong Islamic Youth Association, and the entire team that drives HKIYA. With the endless dedication and diligence of the Executive Council, Sub-committees and staff members, we made solid progress on many fronts, including Education Bureau (EDB) grant for school-based support, the Muslim Youth Training Camp 2015, Peer Counsellor Training Programmes for Ethnic Minority Women, and Muslim Girls Swimming Course.
The school-based support fund has enabled us to expand our support to secondary school students. The association is providing after school English and Math tutorial classes from secondary one to secondary three students. We are also conducting Martial Arts and Dance Class for girls; Bakery Class, Art & Design Class and Football training is offered to all secondary school students. Next, the Muslim Youth Training Camp was held with the aim to promote ‘Love & Tolerance’ amongst Muslim youth. The camp was sponsored by the World Assembly of Muslim Youth. Furthermore, the Peer Counsellor Training Programme for EM Women is the first step towards a tailor- made counseling service for Muslims and non-Chinese. Last but not the least; the Muslim Girls Swimming Course has been organized in co-operation with the Jockey Club Scholars Alumni Association (JCSAA). A female instructor and Islamic swimming suit were arranged.
Throughout the year, HKIYA has worked closely with other organizations, NGOs and individual volunteers. Their cooperation and contributions towards the association’s functions have resulted in the successful completion of our progammes. On behalf of HKIYA, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to all the organizations and individuals, with special thanks to Chinese Muslims Cultural & Fraternal Association, Islamic Union of HK, The Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of HK, Hong Kong Muslim Women Association, Islamic Kasim Tuet Memorial College, WAMY, RISEAP, RainLily, Jockey Club Scholars Alumni Association, Haji Noohu Yeung L. W. (as honorary auditor), Mr. Nicholas Fung (as honorary company secretary, Br. Sheik Adam Ismail, Sr. Sarah Moosa, Br. Jaffar Moosa, Br. Saadullah Sat, Br. Yusuf Yu, Sr. Zareenah Ho, Br. Abbuzar Abbasi, Br. Abdullah Siu, Ms. Tayyaba Bibi, Imam Uthman Yang, and Imam Sulaiman Wang for their endless support to HKIYA throughout the year. The association also expresses its greatest gratitude to Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation for their financial contribution towards youth activities.
I would like to assure all the members that the association will continue expanding its service scope, not only for the community but the society at large. Once again, I would - 3 - like to thank the executive council of the association and volunteers for their precious time and selfless contribution for HKIYA.
May Allah Kareem keep us steadfast on the straight path and accept this service from us; indeed He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.
