TheIsmaili.org | Rays of Light wraps up its tour of Australia and New Zealand

“I congratulate Ismaili Jamat for bringing the Rays of Light Exhibition to Auckland and displaying it so successfully.

It’s been a great pleasure to be here and learn more about Aga Khan and Aga Khan Development Network.

– Dr Parmjeet Parmar,  Member of Parliament

The photographic exhibition gives insight into Mawlana Hazar Imam’s enduring commitment to improving the quality of life of humanity at large, and highlights the impact of the Aga Khan Development Network’s endeavours in Africa, Asia and elsewhere.

A number of leaders from government, civil society and academia attended the event, including the Honourable Paul Goldsmith, New Zealand’s Minister for Commerce and Consumer Affairs, who described it as “an avenue of fostering harmony between different backgrounds and cultures, man and the environment.

“This exhibition was designed by the Ismaili community to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the Imamat of His Highness the Aga Khan …

It expresses so elegantly the breadth of the Imamat’s contemporary activities as well as its historical and ethical roots, that it seemed a special opportunity to bring some of our closest and most important partners to explore it.”

– Rai Azeem Chunara, President of the Ismaili Council for Australia and New Zealand
