On October 18,
PARSA Community Foundation will hold
the Light the Way, the 2009 annual awards ceremony honoring the
recipients of the Volunteerism and Action Award and
Philanthropist of the Year Award. This event is also dedicated to the
Iranian-American children who are engaged in community services.
PARSA Community Foundation will be celebrating the service and
volunteerism of the next generation. Most of our kids are involved in community
service of some kind. They represent the force for good that we need to project
from our community. They are the
shining lights that will transform our community into a powerful one.
It's their work that will define what the larger community thinks of
Iranian-Americans and what we have contributed to America.
We
would like to invite a dozen kids in various age groups to come on to the stage
and say a couple of sentences about the cause that they have supported and what
they did to support the cause. They will be asked by the 10 year old Iranian
actress Yara Shahidi (from the movie
Imagine That with Edie Murphy).
If your child or children have done volunteer work
or any kind of community work, perhaps at the school or a camp, or if you know
of any other children who are participating in community service programs,
please contact PARSA and let us know
about these youth volunteers as soon as possible.
We hope that the
children action will create a
ripple effect through the
Persian community like a tidal wave and encourage other families to get involved
in giving along with their kids.
This is a very meaningful way to move our community forward.
