A Heartfelt Reconnection & A Powerful Story from Mardan

It’s been a little while, and we truly apologize for the silence! Life at SFY has been bustling, and we’ve been working hard behind the scenes on initiatives that we’re incredibly excited to share with you. We’ve missed connecting with you and are thrilled to be back in your inbox with an update that truly embodies the spirit of our mission.

 

We believe in the power of genuine connection, and sometimes, the most profound moments happen when we simply come together and listen. Recently, we hosted an Interfaith Iftar in Mardan, an event that beautifully illustrated this very principle. It was a gathering filled with warmth, shared stories, and moments that truly resonated.

One reflection, in particular, captured the heart of what we aim to achieve:

“This was the first time I got the chance to meet someone from a minority community…” Abdul Aziz’s powerful words capture the essence of our Interfaith Iftar at Mardan. At SFY, we’re not just breaking bread, we’re breaking barriers. This is where real understanding begins, where ‘others’ become neighbours, and where diverse traditions enrich us all.”

 

We invite you to experience the full impact of this genuine dialogue and witness the beautiful connections forged at the Iftar.

 

Watch Abdul Aziz’s full reflection and see the impact of genuine dialogue here:

Thank you for being a part of the SFY community. Your support makes these moments of understanding and unity possible. We’re committed to fostering a world where empathy and connection thrive, and we look forward to sharing more inspiring stories with you soon.
