  1. Congratulations Fatma! I am always proud to read that jamati members from Kenya, and particularly Mombasa, are doing such wonderful work for the community at large.

  2. Dr. Mawji,

    In February I came to hear the program on Houston’s Shia Ismaili Women. I am on the program committee for a group of over 200
    women called “The Professional Group.” For our monthly meetings
    this year, our focus is on Sucessful Women. Your success in your religious community and that work would be of interest, as well as your experience as a physician.
    Two years ago our group had Dr. Jill Carroll as our speaker.
    Would you consider being our speaker on Tuesday, August 4 at the Junior League of Houston? We gather between 6:45 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., have breakfast and our speaker speaks from about 8:00.
    We dismiss at 8:30.
