Earth Day 2024


Here we are, marking yet another Earth Day! Some of us might question if our individual choices truly matter in the grand scheme of things!

But, there are many ways an individual can contribute to making the planet a better place, especially in relation to Earth Day 2024. Here are some impactful actions:

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Practice responsible waste management by reducing consumption, reusing items, and recycling materials whenever possible.
2. Conserve Energy: Use energy-efficient appliances and lighting, turn off lights and electronics when not in use, and consider renewable energy sources like solar or wind power.
3. Save Water: Conserve water by fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, using water-efficient appliances, and collecting rainwater for gardening.
4. Support Sustainable Transportation: Use public transport, carpool, bike, or walk whenever feasible to reduce carbon emissions from transportation.
5. Choose Sustainable Products: Opt for eco-friendly products, such as organic foods, biodegradable cleaning supplies, and items made from recycled materials.
6. Plant Trees and Native Plants: Participate in tree planting initiatives and cultivate native plants in gardens to support biodiversity and combat climate change.
7. Reduce Plastic Use: Minimize single-use plastics by using reusable bags, bottles, containers, and utensils. Properly dispose of plastic waste and participate in clean-up activities.
8. Support Conservation Efforts: Donate to or volunteer with organizations dedicated to protecting wildlife, habitats, and natural resources.
9. Raise Awareness: Educate others about environmental issues, advocate for sustainable practices in your community, and participate in Earth Day events and campaigns.
10. Lead by Example: Be a role model for sustainable living by integrating eco-friendly habits into your daily life and encouraging others to join in conservation efforts.

By taking proactive steps and fostering a culture of environmental stewardship, individuals can make a significant positive impact on the planet and contribute to a better future for all.

Ramadan Mubarak!


Ramadan extends beyond mere thirst and hunger; it serves as an opportunity to empathize with those who endure true deprivation and offer assistance—an act of genuine worship. It's about transcending indifference, replacing it with compassion. Repentance isn't solely about acknowledging our wrongdoings, but also about embracing God's boundless forgiveness.

Ramadan Kareem!

Happy Women's Day 2024

Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women and the brilliant, supportive men out there!



As individuals, it's crucial to recognize, appreciate, and actively promote the inclusion of women and girls, in line with the campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 which is ‘Inspire Inclusion’. Sharing this understanding, support, and encouragement with others is equally vital.
Collectively, organizations and groups can champion inclusion through various actions, such as:
• Ensuring access to quality education and training for women & girls
• Empowering women economically and financially
• Facilitating women & girls' involvement in leadership, decision-making, business, and STEM fields
• Providing informed health choices for women & girls
• Recruiting, nurturing, and advancing diverse talent
• Engaging women & girls in sustainability initiatives, including agriculture and food security initiatives
• Designing infrastructure that meets the specific needs of women & girls
• Enhancing women & girls' participation and success in sports
• Promoting the creative and artistic endeavors of women & girls
By taking concerted action in these areas and addressing any additional areas vital for the progress of women & girls, organizations and groups can actively foster a more inclusive and equitable society for women and girls.

Happy Lunar New Year & Bright Lantern Festival!

Light the Lanterns! From spirituality to socialising to spectacle, the rubescent gleam of lanterns vies with the brilliance of the Full Moon as Day 15 of the Spring Festival explodes in the dazzling climax of the Lantern Festival, ushering in bright hope for a wholesome and prosperous year ahead! Amidst this revelry is also a time for reflection and reunion. तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय holds special meaning as we seek to move with purpose from the darkness of ignorance unto the light of understanding.



The Lantern Festival brings hope to people and spirits alike! Lost and wandering souls are guided to their destinies by the light of lanterns carried along the streets by their families, as malevolent spirits are guided away from homes. It is an evening to also honour nature and higher beings.




As for the spirit, so for the mind! Learning never stops even on Day 15 of the Spring Festival as the Lantern Festival offers pleasurable intellectual stimulation for all ages in the form of riddle slips attached to lanterns, conveying befuddling puzzles, pithy wisdom, and omens. Try one: Which is faster, hot or cold? This is also a day of love. In times long gone, evenings around the Lantern Festival offered an opportunity for otherwise cloistered young women to be out and about with the community, admiring the spectacle of light while being secretly admired by potential suitors. Each attempting to convey their love through heartfelt poems delicately concealed within these lantern riddles:

"If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.

If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world."

- Chinese Proverb

Wishing everyone a bright Lantern Festival and a happy Lunar New Year!
