Refugees
We are a small community that is devoted to contributing to the well-being of society through a range of programs and activities that frequently include recent immigrants and refugee populations. The National Assembly is not a sponsorship agreement holder, but we are aware of many individual initiatives by Bahá’ís to respond to the needs of refugees through volunteer efforts and in their professional capacities. The commitment of the Bahá’í community to serving these populations extends back at least as far as the 1980s, when we began to welcome thousands of Iranian refugees an effort that continues to this day.

Quote of the Day
Fidal 15 Izzat 183 B.E.
It is again not permitted that any one of the honoured members object to or censure, whether in or out of the meeting, any decision arrived at previously, though that decision be not right, for such criticism would prevent any decision from being enforced.
