A youth imbizo, organised by Serving Our Underprivileged People (S.O.U.P) and the Boland Islamic Council Women\u2019s League (BICWL), was hosted on Saturday 22 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event brought young minds from Strand, Gordon\u2019s Bay, Paarl, Wellington, Macassar, Eerste River and Blackheath together for a day filled with inspiration, learning and community engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was held in Strand and aimed to empower about 70 youth through various activities and keynote talks from notable figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day commenced with a warm welcome from Haafidha Khadeejah Gabier-Abrahams, setting a positive tone for the gathering, and was followed by an opening qiraa<\/em> (Qur\u2019anic recitation) by Muhammad Sayid Shaibu, providing a spiritual start to the proceedings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moulana Allie Abels then offered sage advice, emphasising the importance of faith and community in personal growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programme director Abdullah Gabier did an amazing job and introduced keynote speaker Paul Griffith from the Waterfront Theatre School (WTS), who delivered an impactful address that captivated the audience, encouraging the youth to pursue their dreams and make positive changes in their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical advice was provided by ER24 representatives, equipping those in attendence with essential life-saving skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an engaging session, Soraya Kippie introduced the concept of vision boards, guiding the youth to visualise and set their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
