26
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:52.520
And now let's hear from some of
our sponsors. Chapter two, How Jugar

27
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:59.360
leads to multi sector sexual stories in
India, including definitions of the Jugar management

28

00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:12.680
to succeed in India and the global
marketplace inspiration. True Jogar is an inspiration

30
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:19.159

that meet the price value equation. Accounting

31
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:27.080
to a Harvard Business Review article featuring
expert Prelade and Marshalker, most innovation programs

32
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.000
are built on the assumptions of affluence
and abundance. We see the rich and

33
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:38.560
the young in both the developed and
the developing countries demanding environmental friendly products and

34
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:46.039
services. They also believe that affordability
and sustainability are crucial to driving successful business

35
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:53.960
Today, new technologies and radical business
models are important not only to penetrate mass

36
00:03:53.039 --> 00:04:00.240
markets in India, but in the
entire world by reconfigura during all areas of

37
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:17.680
the business. Drop killed David Pot. A monstrous infection is spreading worldwide.

38
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.759
OMG. Is this a simple infection
or a deliberate attempt to ruin the human

39
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:30.000
population? Or maybe it's bio terrorism. What is this global infection and who

40
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.319

out. Go to Amazon and search for

96
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:01.799

a great friend of the community. Unfortunately

97
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.080
he was unable to join us today, but he has sent a video message

98
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.679
for us that have been played now, so kind of lead the I department

99
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:46.960
game. Yeah, remember the wife
and life of doctor Kiel and Rama As

100
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.559
I'm Chris van Halle and I probably
represent Merit in the United States s and

101
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.600
I'm especially pleased to be joining you
the members of the Montgomery County Muslim Foundation

102
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.399
and Muslim Cats and others in our
community for tonight's special if to our gathering.

103
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.600
As we come together to mark the
end of today's Ramadan fast, we

104
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:16.399
also remember the life and lace of
doctor Akiel Rahman. Doctor Rachman was a

105
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.960
filler of our community whose good deeds
impressed me from the very first time I

106
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.399
met him. He used his role
as a bounding and guiding member of the

107
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:33.200
organizations gathered here this evening to change
our community for the better, and he

108
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.960
set a powerful example for all,
an example of goodness and grace that is

109
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:46.039
especially relevant during this time given the
meaning of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan

110
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:52.200
is deeply rooted in the values of
community, of sacrifice and everything, and

111
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.039
I moved by the great work of
MCMF and what you have done to live

112
00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:03.000
those principles year round, to put
faith into action. Through your food pantry,

113
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.480
you continue to meet your mission to
create a hunger free and hate free

114
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.919
society. During the worst days of
the pandemic, you dispersed huge amounts of

115
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:18.519
food to needy families. Your contributions
help our friends and neighbors weather hard times,

116
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.480
keep them fed and nourished, prepare
our young people for college and so

117
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.279
much more. You've been there for
our community during times of tribulation and times

118
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.840
of triumph, and I'm proud to
partner with you in the entire Viybrant Muslim

119
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:39.679
community in our area to lift up
each and everyone of our fellow narrators this

120
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:50.320
month and every month. Ramadan ubark
to all, thank you so much.

121
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.720
Of anybody's here from Chris van Holland's
office, I'd like to thank them and

122
00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.200
to communicate on thanks to Senator Holland. Also we always miss him, but

123
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.600
we now have to move on to
the agenda. Thank you. We are

124
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:11.000
expecting our Comptroller, Honorable Brook Layman
and on our Lieutenant Governor Roun Miss Runa

125
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.120
Miller, and they are unfortunately there
probably be joining us a little later.

126
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:30.720
Okay, well, lieutenant governor is
here, so can I please invite mister

127
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:42.759
Sultan Choudary to please come on the
stage and invite the Lieutenant governor. She's

128
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.840
you know, she's a she's among
the country girl, so we expect that

129
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:55.159
from her. But wonderful, we
are so grateful that here, Lieutenant Governor.

130
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.960
We're proud. Then you can make
the time and this is the first

131
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:07.119
style I think a South Asian woman
could be lieutenant governor of this great external

132
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:17.559
Maryland. And I think she's also
the one of the two female lieutenant governor

133
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:22.000
in the state of partner before her
was a Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy Hammerson.

134
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:27.160
So that's a great honor. We
like to welcome here to this beautiful event.

135
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.599
And you are not new to a
community. You've been with us most

136
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:37.119
of the time, all the time. In fact, I recalled the days

137
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:42.799
south pleasing morning that you came to
MCMF help us yourself and your husband David

138
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.200
distribute food and we do appreciate it. So you are our Lieutenant governor and

139
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.759
I want to her commun Let not
as a matter of fact, Miss Miller.

140
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.960
Colona Miller was born in Hadabad,
India and immigrated to the United States

141
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:03.799
when she was seventy years of age. She graduated from the Missouris State Science

142
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.720
and Technology with a degree in civil
engineering and chose a life of public service

143
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.519
in Maryland. She spent twenty five
years working in the Department of Transportation in

144
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:18.680
Montgomery County and she lives in Montgomery
County with her husband, David. At

145
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:25.759
the age three dollars so the Lieutenant
Governor. Miller's achievements, daughter of immigrant

146
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.519
and engineer turned the Lieutenant governor,
should be an inspiration for young people because

147
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:37.720
of the possibility, because the possibilities
are endless in the state of Maryland,

148
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.480
Montgomery County and the United States of
America. Who should take note of that,

149
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:48.079
our children, our daughters and ourselves. And I recall in one of

150
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:52.000
the interviews she said, we see
you and will fight for you. We'll

151
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:59.960
address the inequities of the past and
build the Maryland where everyone will thrive.

152
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:04.880
So that's a promise made and we
will hold they accountable for the promise kept.

153
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:11.079
We already got it, and we
want to be more active with you,

154
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.319
and you should be more active with
us. That's so we invite and

155
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.000
that shows you're here at this evening. It's not easy to come on an

156
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:23.160
evening like this, and we welcome
you and please come to this stage,

157
00:19:23.480 --> 00:20:11.240
share a few words with their community. Thank you see here a salam Alaicham

00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.880

161
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:41.640
Kate Stewart and Council President Evan Glass, Councilwoman Dawn Lutkey and her husband.

162
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.880
We serve in the administration together,
So it's great and to see you.

163
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.920
And I'm sorry if I didn't recognize
everyone, but to all the elected leaders

164
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:56.240
here, thank you for being here
celebrating this great occasion. And I also

165
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.279
want to give a great big shout
out to our latest delegate in the Maryland

166
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:14.839
General Assembly from District sixteen, Delegate
Sarah Wallack. I have to tell you

167
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:21.039
how honored Governor Westmore and I were
when she came to an ift our celebration

168
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:26.079
that we had last week on March
twenty eight and Governor Moore stayed in.

169
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.359
And I think all of you already
know that Delegate Bullock will because is the

170
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:37.319
first Muslim American woman to be elected
to the Maryland General Assembly, so to

171
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:45.319
be acted and we are thrilled to
have your reship there. So I also

172
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:49.279
want to say thank you to Saba
Rushi. First of all, come over

173
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:56.200
there, Saba, thank you for
your friendship over the years, thank you

174
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.240
for your leadership at the Monk Army
County Muslim Foundation. Not just leadership,

175
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:06.200
but she leads with compassion. And
I've known this about for so many years

176
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:11.160
and I am so so deeply grateful
for everything that you do. So thank

177
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:19.160
you, thank you for friendship,
for you helpful and also thank you to

178
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:25.559
Asa Hussein from the Montcarmi County Muslim
Council. I want to thank you for

179
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:33.319
your leadership as well. And finally, this moment would not be here for

180
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.519
all of us if it wasn't for
the giant that is missing in the room

181
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:42.759
today, and that is to Fall
Ahmed. I am known to Fall for

182
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:48.079
many many years, just like all
of you. He's been such a great

183
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:53.039
leader, not just to the Muslim
American community here in Montcarmi County in Maryland,

184
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:59.160
but throughout the nation and to others
as well. And I have to

185
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:03.799
tell you that over the years,
he counseled me, he mentored me,

186
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:08.000
he shared every bit of his love
and affection that he does as you all

187
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:14.200
know, with me, and I'm
grateful to have known him. And he

188
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.599
passed away as you know, on
January twelve, twenty twenty two, and

189
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.599
there's been a big void in the
community for all of us here in the

190
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.000
state without his leadership, but his
legacy moves on because he taught every one

191
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:33.519
of us the importance of service,
to give as much as you can and

192
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.079
as often as you can. He
would invite me many times to the mont

193
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:42.640
Army County Muslim Foundations food drives and
I would you come there. He would

194
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.599
hardily, you know, hug me
and tell me how happy he was to

195
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.960
see me. And I'm just so
thankful for the legacy that he left behind,

196
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.720
not just in me, but I'm
sure to everyone that's in this room

197
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:02.519
today. So with that again,
I want to say Ramadan Mvarik and how

198
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.480
thrilled Governor Westmore and I am to
be also to have the privilege of serving

199
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.599
all of you here in Montcarmy County
as well as in the state of Maryland.

200
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:18.640
Now, much like the mont Army
County Muslim Foundation, we also want

201
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:25.079
to create a hunger free and a
hate free society. We are thankful for

202
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:30.720
the leadership for the MCMF for this. In this space, we also want

203
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:36.640
to encourage a life of service,
much like what the Montarmy County Muslim Foundation

204
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:45.599
encourages the members to do. In
fact, just yesterday, Governor Moore announced

205
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:52.920
the new director of a new department
that we are creating whose sole purpose is

206
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.519
to encourage young people and the greater
community to lead a life of public service

207
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.759
service over all. And this is
the first time in the nation that a

208
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:11.640
state will actually create a department totally
focused on service and civic innovation. And

209
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.720
again, we learned this from every
one of you, how important it is

210
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:21.039
to give back to our community and
every way we can. So again,

211
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.480
this is something we all share together
on our administration looks forward to implementing.

212
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:33.240
We also believe that we want to
create a state that's inclusive and diverse as

213
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.559
a state is. So we want
to make sure our administration looks like the

214
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.359
State of Maryland. And we are
proud to have two Muslim Americans as secretaries

215
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:48.759
in this leadership roles in the cabinet. Is there someone there in the back

216
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:56.200
who is that I'm sorry if you
had to raise your head, he's waving

217
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:02.680
okay. So we're proud to have
Secretary Atav Chaudhari, who is a head

218
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:08.519
of Department of General Services, as
well as Superintendent Muhammad Chaudhuri. So again,

219
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:14.440
we want to build a leadership cabinet
that looks exactly like the State of

220
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:19.759
Maryland. So thank you very much
for having me here. You know.

221
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.200
One other thing that I would like
to also recognize is the fact that the

222
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:33.480
more Miller administration looks forward to celebrating
all faiths in the Government House. As

223
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.000
a matter of fact, when we
the Governor and the First Lady hosted if

224
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:44.839
DAR last week, it was the
first religious ceremony and celebration that they have

225
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.359
ever done in the Government House.
So we will continue to do this inch

226
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:55.319
and every single year. We want
the Muslim American community to feel welcome and

227
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.119
they will always have a seat at
the table. We are going to build

228
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.279
a state that is equitable where everyone
can thrive. As you heard earlier,

229
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.559
that is the mission of the more
Miller administration, that we will build a

230
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:14.160
state where no one is left behind. So thank you for every you know,

231
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.640
in every single way how you contribute
to the great state of Maryland.

232
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:22.759
And I also want to recognize Frank
Islam and his beautiful wife Debbie, who

233
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.720
are here um for all that you
do also here in the state of Maryland.

234
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.240
Again, thank you for having me. And I do have two citations.

235
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:41.720

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:03.160
Um we Aeutenant Governor has been volunteering

241
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.920

For those who i'ven't met, my name

278
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:37.680
is Sarah Wallack. I just joined
the delegation from District sixteen, which is

279
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:44.200
essentially be fessed Ptomic and parts of
Cherry Chase where I'm serving as a delegate

280
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.720
in the General Assembly. I just
want to take a moment and talk about

281
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:53.160
RamSan and you know us being here
today. As a child, I remember

282
00:32:55.000 --> 00:33:00.559
breaking the fast in my grandmother's home
and that memory is still days with me

283
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:07.119
today. We used to have sarve
Us and Chole and so Moses, and

284
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.960
you know, it's just a really
wonderful way for all of us to come

285
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:15.200
together. And now as a professor
at the University of Maryland, I actually

286
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:22.839
teach self leadership, and I teach
well being and all of those lessons that

287
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:29.880
are part of the fabric of our
faith, such as self discipline that we

288
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:36.480
learned during this month, such as
empathy to connect with those who do not

289
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:44.880
have in a food or enough resources, such as the ability to be really

290
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:50.799
present in the moment. All of
those lessons have been in a very different

291
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:54.039
form, and many people are coming
on board and understanding what well being and

292
00:33:54.200 --> 00:34:00.759
purposeful life and intention is about.
But we've been practicing that the community,

293
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:07.680
and I just want to just recognize
everybody today for this wonderful month that we're

294
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:14.159
participating in. And it's just Romzama
bark and thank you for the opportunity to

295
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.559
speak. I wasn't expecting to,
but I guess this is part of part

296
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:28.719
of the fun of being in this
position. So thank you again. Thank

297
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.119
you, sir Delegate Sarah bl I. You've all made us very proud.

298
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:39.920
So a big hand for her ken. So now comes the time to my

299
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:45.760
to my presentation. I promise I
won't take very long time and I'll make

300
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:57.360
it as brief and less painful as
possible. So as you all know,

301
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.559
I have the present I'm a can
make out in the same foundation, MCMA

302
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:07.199
is a class root non content tax
example chart, an organization established by the

303
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.519
Muslim rest of the county. If
vision we can put up this life.

304
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.400
If vision is to help promote a
hundred free and a hate free society.

305
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:22.840
Our sole mission is selflessly helped the
fare and needy residents of the county I,

306
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:28.159
respective of their race, color or
religion. So I have to give

307
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:32.760
you a background of MCMF N MCMC
since we are posting this program together and

308
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:38.039
we are closely connected in terms of
the founders that we both had and mutually

309
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:44.000
shared, so let me briefly give
you a background of the organization just a

310
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:47.920
short snapshot as to what we what
we are, and how we progressed.

311
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:54.280
It is more and more important today
as we have lost both most important founders

312
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:01.159
of these organizations, mister Tom and
doctor kil Rehman were pinners of our community.

313
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:06.360
Were our founders, our friends,
our manage mentors, and a great

314
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.920
humanitarians that we have lost. In
two thousand and three, a group of

315
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:15.480
Muslim residents under the leadership of mister
Tophairehman and talked to Rehmand with other Muslim

316
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:22.119
leaders, formed Montgomery County Muslim Council
with the objective to engage the Muslim community

317
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:28.159
in civic, humanitarian and political engagement
in Meriland, encouraging Muslim to reform community

318
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:34.000
service projects for their county and put
into practice what the islam fay Islamic fail

319
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:39.039
encuage us to do so. Mcmc
lady started with very limited funding and other

320
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:44.960
resources were very very tight, and
started off in three projects, conducting food

321
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:50.280
drive for Manner and distributing Christmas and
Thanksgiving class kIPS. By two thousand and

322
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.639
threes through eight, these programs had
been further developed and became better known to

323
00:36:53.719 --> 00:37:00.599
the county government and the public.
The then county Executive I Cleggett invite MCMs

324
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:05.960
leadership and told them that MCMC was
doing great work and service to the county

325
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:09.880
and they recommended that MCMC set up
an independent nonprofit so that they can be

326
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:15.039
eligible for grants which can really benefit
them in their nonprofit one. This was

327
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:21.639
the genesis for our setting up at
the MCMF an independent nonprofit in two thousand

328
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:25.039
and eight. The county then allocated
its first grant or eighty five thousand to

329
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:31.639
us in two thousand and nine.
So where we are today, next life

330
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:42.519
please? So we right currently run
we have like five major programs in the

331
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:47.119
areas of food, in the areas
of refugee rehabilitation, youth programs, Seniors,

332
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:53.639
Women Empowerment, and Clothing division.
So all our program programs really mainly

333
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:59.840
fall under the food program that has
really expanded quite a bit in twenty twenty

334
00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:04.199
two, so food service program distributed
over two hundred thousand pounds of food to

335
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:09.559
the needing residents. Food Pattery distributed
around one thirty three thousand, five eighty

336
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:20.519
pounds of groceries and every month we
have a drive through distribute. So this

337
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:28.480
was the part two of MCMCNMCMF of
tar in collaboration with County Montgomery County Executive.

338
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:31.280
