Taking flight: Beautiful memories of last session of AMAL
I loved this notion of “flying” for our last session because it is such a beautiful expression of our AMAL journey. The journey which started when we found each other just like those birds who gather at some place traveling from different areas and combining together at AMAL platform. A journey in which we; birds were strangers at the beginning for each other, but gradually became a unit, a team and family with each day of fellowship.
We learned to believe in our own selves with our self discovery sessions, to fly as a free bird as well as to take others towards heights as a strong team, we realized journey can also be beautiful not only the final destinations are, we internalized the power of positivity and it incredibly changed the view of life for us, we laughed together, learned together and we have made it to the final session by uplifting each other finally. The successful completion of this journey is beautiful but at the same time bidding farewell to such beautiful people and mentors is yet difficult and heart wrenching.
The inspirations, life time lessons, values that I have learned in this fellowship will be my guiding principles in the future. I will always try to have faith in me and always keep feelings of gratitude in my heart. I will never forget how a little act of kindness can make incredible impacts; I shall keep my heart enlightened with power of positivity. Comprehensively I shall carry these AMAL values in my personality in a way that the power of these positive reflections will become a part of my aura and affect others in positive way as well.
Emotional but a beautiful virtual meet up
We are living in an era of digitalization where we have hundreds of friends at social media but still we feel so hollow emotionally. Each one of us is so busy in daily routine that we hardly get any time to sit together and spend some time for our emotional uplift. We are humans and adorned by emotions but contemporarily we keep ourselves busy with media and eventually our emotional self feels void.
“Humans are made and adorned with emotions, if they do not get manifestations of their emotions they become hollow from inside”
AMAL gave us realization that just alike we work to fulfill our physical needs we must take some time out to satisfy our emotional needs as well. We feel so emotionally positive by having positive and constructive activities for our emotional uplift. Be it spending some time with our family, friends, fellows, or doing acts of kindness, or expression of gratitude.
Memorable fun activities
We played a game Pictionary in which each one of us had to draw some illustrations and make others guess. It was fun to play this game because it stirred the creativity of our minds.
Story telling
We shared interesting, beautiful, inspiring stories and moments about each other. It gave us a chance to know interesting things about each other.
“Some of the most beautiful moments from our fellowship”
We gained a lot of motivation, inspiration from each other; we learned things that have become life lessons and principles for many of us. I feel so lucky and blessed for being part of this AMAL family. I pay my heartiest gratitude to my Program Manager Ma’am Rabeea, Program Associate Ma’am Zarafshan, my friends and fellows for their guidance, support and great companionship.
