March part 2

This weekend we participated in a circle of healing.  Muslim health professionals came from our community to share knowledge and guidance with our youth leaders.  

Some pearls from our discussion:

• Brother Ali Adem, Health Equity Liaison at Seattle Children's Hospital, shared that much of his success has come from honoring the values of faith, family, and education.
• Sister Amal Mohamed RN and Brother Feras Rabbi PharmD both shared stories of how discussing their faith with their co-workers helped to create a supportive environment of cultural competency.
  
• Brother Ahmad Bayomy MD emphasized that although the road to becoming a surgeon can be long, if you pursue your passion then you will enjoy your training.

We have gratitude that our professionals and youth sat in a circle as equals-- leaders and partners in healing their community.

Thank you to our volunteers this weekend: Ahmad Bayomy, MD; Alaa Yasin, DDS; Ali Adem, MPH; Amal Mohamed, RN; Feras Rabi, PharmD; Nuha Elkugia, MPH

The next meeting of Healers of Tomorrow will be on March 25, with a special guest lecturer.  We are also looking forward to exciting field trips in April.  

If you are interested in supporting us you can:

• Design a learning activity or field trip for our youth-- our program is booked for this semester but we are starting to plan for the Fall.
• Donate to our youth-led project grants fund; we are not yet at our goal. 
• Foster an environment of loving service in your own way! 

In Health and Peace,
Dr. Malik
