Coming together to protect the Earth on Global Ismaili CIVIC Day, thousands of volunteers across the globe pledge to offer thousands of hours of voluntary service to strengthen their communities through environmental stewardship. The Global Ismaili CIVIC Day is an annual Ismaili CIVIC signature event held every year on September 25. It is a global programme under which the Ismaili Muslim community across the world has united around its centuries-old tradition of serving humanity by rendering voluntary service to improve the quality of life of the communities in which they live, regardless of faith, gender and background. . This international endeavour reflects the community’s ethic of civic engagement and good citizenship, said a media release on Sunday.
