Nine years ago this Friday, 26 June 2000, the 55th anniversary of the
signing of the UN Charter, founding members of the URI from around the
world gathered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA to sign URI's Charter.
URI is excited to announce its
newest partnership with Link TV's GLOBAL
SPIRIT Series. Watch this week's video highlights at http://www.uri.org/partners/globalspirit/.
As I write this, a civil war is exploding in Pakistan that may displace 1.5 million innocent civilians fleeing in hopes of survival. There are over 30 URI Cooperation Circles in Pakistan, some of them working in the midst of great danger as they stand against violent extremism and the denial of rights to minorities and women and girls, and for interfaith cooperation for education, economic development and peace. Fr. James Channan, long-time URI Pakistan leader, and Maulana Abdul Kabir Azad, new Global Council Trustee, will lead a URI relief effort to provide material and spiritual support to refugees. In the process, they will be lighting a candle of hope for the future by modeling interfaith compassion and cooperation in the midst of the darkness of violent religious extremism.
Time is of the essence for the people of Pakistan. Please consider donating byMay 27th. Donations will be sent to the URI Lahore MCC; Fr.
Channan and Maulana Syed Azad will manage the distribution of goods so that
100% of your donation will supply basic necessities to refugees. There are
three ways to donate:
