OTTAWA –Imrahn Mitha of North Vancouver, British Columbia and a select number of young Canadians will meet in Ottawa to represent their respective regions at the National Youth Ambassador Caucus from May 15-19th.
The Caucus is being hosted in conjunction with the Department of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and the Federal Economic Development Agencies. At the Caucus, the youth will meet with Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, and other eminent government, business and community leaders.
Mitha’s role at the National Youth Ambassador Caucus will be to represent British Columbia, while addressing Summit issues such as Nuclear Proliferation, Maternal Health and Food Security. The youth will put their negotiation and leadership skills to the test, as only 26 youth Ambassadors (two from each province and territory) will be selected to participate in the Summits in June 2010.

Great Article however the Enhanced Learning Center is not a non-for-profit tutoring agency for recent Afghan refugees , its a community based programs that support students within the Ismaili community who struggle academically and have no financial means of accessing tutorial support.

Ashif – I believe ELC is indeed non-profit irrespective of any inaccuracies in the original source regarding who may or may not be accessing the services.

Minor inaccuracies or not, what is commendable is that an Ismaili student is representing not only the community, but Canada at such a high profile event. In Ottawa, the event was extensively covered in the media, including the Globe & Mail. Congratulations Imran!!
