Family, Community and Giving Back
By Ismail Bhai
Ask Ismail Bhai what has mattered most and the answer begins with family. A strong family gives a person somewhere to stand, and a strong community gives that family a wider home.
Showing up
Most of what holds a family together is simple: being present for meals, milestones and hard days alike.
Community
Faith communities, schools, cricket clubs and neighbourhood friendships knit a city together. Ismail believes everyone has a part to play in keeping those bonds strong.
Service
Giving time and skill to others, quietly and consistently, is one of the best ways to express gratitude for what one has been given.
