Focusing on Humanity

June 5, 2008

Peace, one and all…

‘What can we learn about ourselves if we really think about our experiences in helping other persons?  Perhaps the first deep insight is that these others are persons, individual human beings, more than ‘cases’, ‘clients’ or ‘patients’.  Identifying them consistently in this manner renews and refreshes us, for it keeps our focus on the humanity to which we want to relate even though it may be masked and shrouded by the hundred disguises of psychological problems’
(E. Kennedy & S C Charles, On Becoming A Counsellor, p.401)

ISSA Wales

June 5, 2008

Peace, one and all…

The newly founded Islamic Social Services Association of Wales is holding a Volunteering event on Wednesday 11th June 2008, from 6-8 pm, at Unity Centre, 51-52 Loudoun Square, Butetown, Cardiff CF5 1JH.  Their website will soon be up and running, insha Allah.

ISSA Wales aims to provide the Muslim community of Wales with much-needed support in all sorts of areas.  I would like to encourage anyone in the area to come along and get involved.

Ma’as salama,
