Zohra Sarwari & Alya Nuri visit to Madani

Assalamu'alaikum.

I am pleased to announce US Life Coach Sr Zohra Sarwari and her child author Alya Nuri made a special visit to Madani Schools Federation on Thursday 30 October 2014 to inspire our year 7 and 8 students.

Alya Nuri is an 11-year old Child Author and Speaker who started her writing career at the tender age of 7 and has now published in the series “Things Every Kid Should Know” Smoking, Alcohol, Drugs, Bullying, and Junk Food. These books are available to purchase.

Alya is in the 8th grade and being homeschooled by 3 teachers. She loves reading books and working for the welfare of the poor and needy. She has written 10 articles and wants to continue writing more books for the betterment of the youth. She wants to pursue her passion of public speaking and coaching young people.

Alya has always wanted to make a difference, she wanted to bring a change in the environment around her; a positive change. When she saw that children and teenagers were getting involved in Smoking, Alcohol, Drugs, Bullying, and Obesity at a very fast rate out of peer pressure or due to lack of knowledge, she decided to come up with a series consisting of books as a mission to create awareness amongst the youth and tell them how injurious these things were to their lives!

She has shared some fundamental information about Smoking, Alcohol, Drugs, Bullying and Junk Food to help the youth Say “NO” to these bad habits. Alya Nuri wants to inspire children and their parents to be a part of this campaign, and be a productive and effective part of their community.

The series by Alya Nuri can be a great gift from every parent to his/her child to teach them how to handle the negative influences by the people around them, in addition to, choosing the right and healthy path. She believes that youth years are the most important phase of life. This is when the foundation is built, so it is better to utilize their energy in constructive and creative activities.

On behalf of everyone at Madani, I thank Alya and Zohra Sarwari for visiting Madani and inspiring our younger students. We hope they will visit us once again in future to inspire students coming through the Madani system.
