In every corner of the world today, the lives of mankind are being transformed in ideals which are set within a blink of an eye. The world is now closer together and can bare more then mere shoulders but also a tolerance for brotherhood or neighborhood for a more common term. It seems like we are all connected, through our differences, oceans, and quite frankly our own distant boundaries. This breaks the question of the future of our world and what will our next generations be like.

Although the world in heart is no negative concept many problems, social issues, and oh of course environmental concerns has arisen in the past few decades, with the world closer together the opportunity comes to all of humanity to attack, confront, and challenge these issues; the best part is that each and every being can do this in their own humidified way. With that a distinctive theme has come to the celebration of a youth effort in favor of inspiring youthful members of our society. Presented with an amplified amount of grace the notion which stands as “Reach Out, Stand Up, and Do Your Part” carries a bigger message then just three simple directions. It’s a directional map which in true judgment if displayed and fortified correctly will lead to an emerging movement for all young people across the world Muslim and non-Muslim.

So with digesting it let us start with reaching out, we tend to discover many malfunctions of everyday society in the this event, a humanly characteristic would be to watch and of course mind your business, but this aspect of reaching out is the first position we should indeed start with because when you are reaching out you are looking for information, you are grasping the situation. This may well solve a lot of our “bumps in the road” especially as we stand for the convictions of our fragile humanity, we must with assurance contract with this authenticity and we must stand well to our beliefs and affirmations. This again makes the vital point of reaching gout before manifesting any type of change.

That brings us to stand up, and once you have affirmed your case for reaching out and taking the first step it comes down to factionalizing that argument or case. Standing up does not only means lifting a mere muscle but going into the center of the very aspects of our society which are yarning for both hope and much needed help. It is the opposition of making something transformed in a positive away. It is the harder concept of taking charge and lashing out a progressive action visional zed with improvement, that’s what it means to stand up.

Through those two concepts reaching out, standing up, you have done your part. But only if both convey positive notions or conclusions; that is the ideal here it is important to know that through the impact that has been engulfed in the process one can say they have done their part when they get involved and then actionable that result to end in nothing but pure “doing your part”. The youth of ICSAYC have visualized this ideal and quite frankly burned it to pieces, referring to the fact that they have enforced a powerful movement within reaching out, standing up, and of course doing their parts. So in word this theme captures a momentum, a great one which you and all those who reside in our world can come take part of. As the school calendar sets off the first interactive competition of the 2010-2011 will begin on November 26th, 2010, this is an opportunity to actualize this theme, find resources to this theme, and become part of a team which has been building on this very movement and momentum, join us that day at 2:30pm.
