  1. Phenomenal! It brings me so must joy and pride that we have assimilated so well with the Canadian with an open mind leaving aside all the negativity that prevails around us. How proud I am to be an Ismaili. May the Almighty Bless Ms. Pirbay with strength, courage and endurance to fulfil her duties with absolute fairness. Amen!
