My right shoulder is still very painful and inflamed again and I have struggled to type this blog.

Despite my pain I managed to attend a webinar and record videos about PIE Community members expressing an interest to join.

I celebrated World Cancer Day 2024 by creating a poster in Urdu and English.

I participated in a School for Social Entrepreneur webinar with Chris Hines MBE.

میرا دایاں کندھا اب بھی بہت تکلیف دہ ہے اور دوبارہ سوجن ہے اور میں نے اس بلاگ کو ٹائپ کرنے کے لیے جدوجہد کی ہے۔

اپنی تکلیف کے باوجود میں ایک ویبینار میں شرکت کرنے اور PIE کمیونٹی کے ممبران کے بارے میں ویڈیوز ریکارڈ کرنے میں کامیاب ہو گیا جو اس میں شامل ہونے میں دلچسپی کا اظہار کرتے ہیں۔

میں نے کینسر کا عالمی دن 2024 منایا

میں نے Chris Hines MBE کے ساتھ ایک سکول فار سوشل انٹرپرینیور ویبینار میں حصہ لیا۔

World Cancer Day 2024 - #CloseTheCare Gap Poster in Urdu and English with Sabeena Z Ahmed

 

This year the World Cancer Day 2024 theme was still "Close the Care Gap".

The campaign was all about understanding and recognising the inequities in cancer care around the globe.

This World Cancer Day, recognises the power of working together.

World Cancer Day knows that every single one of us has the ability to make a difference, large or small, and that together we can make real progress in reducing the global impact of cancer.

This 4 February, World Cancer Day calls on you, whoever and wherever you are, to play your part in creating a cancer-free world.

Hello, Assalaam Alaikum peace and blessings!

My name is Sabeena and I've been a member of the World Pulse Powershift Inclusive Excellence Committee member for over a year. 

Apologies for the delay, I am currently receiving treatment for ongoing shoulder surgeries.
 
This is a very short update about the Community members interested to join PIE.
 
The World Pulse Powershift Inclusive Excellence Committee has been overjoyed and privileged to receive over 30 applications for 5 courageous new members.
 
Due to the large volume of applications received, PIE has decided it would be wise to take its time to review and deliberate each application on its individual merit.
 
PIE hopes to finalise its list of 5 courageous new members soon.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.   
Thank you for watching.
 
Peace and blessings
Sabeena

السلام علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکاتہ!

میرا نام سبینہ ہے اور میں ایک سال سے زیادہ عرصے سے ورلڈ پلس پاور شفٹ انکلوسیو ایکسی لینس کمیٹی کا ممبر رہا ہوں۔

تاخیر کے لیے معذرت، میں فی الحال کندھے کی جاری سرجریوں کا علاج کر رہا ہوں۔

PIE میں شامل ہونے میں دلچسپی رکھنے والے کمیونٹی ممبران کے بارے میں یہ ایک بہت ہی مختصر اپ ڈیٹ ہے۔

ورلڈ پلس پاور شفٹ انکلوسیو ایکسی لینس کمیٹی کو 5 دلیر نئے ممبران کے لیے 30 سے زیادہ درخواستیں موصول ہونے پر بہت خوشی ہوئی ہے۔

موصول ہونے والی درخواستوں کی بڑی تعداد کی وجہ سے، PIE نے فیصلہ کیا ہے کہ ہر درخواست کا جائزہ لینے اور اس کے انفرادی میرٹ پر غور کرنے کے لیے اپنا وقت نکالنا دانشمندی ہوگی۔

پی آئی ای اپنے 5 دلیر نئے ممبران کی فہرست کو جلد حتمی شکل دینے کی امید رکھتی ہے۔
ہم اس معاملے میں آپ کے صبر اور سمجھ کی تعریف کرتے ہیں۔
دیکھنے کا شکریہ.

السلام و علیکم

THRIVE LDN - Great Mental Health Day Webinars January 2024 (English and Urdu)

My sister sent me links to webinars about Great Mental Health Day which took place 26th January 2024.

I am grateful to all the guest speakers and trainers who took time out of their busy schedules to talk about Suicide Prevention, Bereavement and Write to Speak Your Poetry.

Translation in Urdu

میری بہن نے مجھے عظیم دماغی صحت کے دن کے بارے میں ویبینرز کے لنکس بھیجے جو 26 جنوری 2024 کو ہوا تھا۔

میں ان تمام مہمان مقررین اور ٹرینرز کا مشکور ہوں جنہوں نے اپنے مصروف شیڈول میں سے وقت نکال کر خودکشی کی روک تھام، سوگ اور اپنی شاعری لکھنے کے بارے میں بات کی۔
