This autumn, many young Ismailis in the United Kingdom, like myself, began the transition to university. Although it is a time of excitement and eagerness for independence, many of us will also feel apprehension at the prospect of living away from home for the first time, and being responsible for ourselves.
Suddenly, the idea of managing our own budgets, seeking out a new group of friends, and cooking for ourselves was dauntingly real. So it was greatly reassuring to receive a personal letter from the Ismaili Student Network (ISN) inviting us to join the network, and to attend their ‘Get Fresh’ event in early September.
Arriving at the Ismaili Centre, London at midday — a suitable start time for a student event — I was unsure of what to expect. But I
found myself at ease among students from universities as diverse as Edinburgh and Nottingham. Moreover, the entire event was co-ordinated and run by students and recent graduates.

Beloveds:
Great and, I am sure, much valued support from the ISN for our university students in the UK!
Bravo!
Love, light and shadow,
