As RECEIVED

UNCHECQUED


Dont know if rumours only
Sending as received
Tentative date March 10 or 11 for Houston. Second city Atlanta. No Darbaar only Mulaqaat unless HI changes the program and "Kaam kaaj". Three day program in Houston for KK including Maadan ka Chanta and Isme Aazam and probably two days for mulaqaat for the huge Jamat. Venues are NRG and George R Brown convention center. Yes rodeo will still be going on but that will not affect us. No dinner and dandiya at either venues.

USA council should be very ashamed of them selves. They have put many ismailis at difficulty. Many jamati members cant make it to the mulaqat because they have given very short notice. During the Golden jubliee we were told that mowla was coming almost 2 months in advance.. we were told in feburary and the darbar was in april. Forget about all this they have put many of the local jamats in difficult situation. Many members of the jamat want to take bol in atlanta but these idiots of council members wont release bol dates. They have the audacity to tell jamati members to be flexible. How much flexibility do you demand? Most of the jamati members need to give 2 week advance notice. Now only thirteen days left. Not only do they have the audacity to say this they have a bigger audacity to suggest that the jamati member take off all 5 days. Do they not realize not all jobs are willing to give that and that many people dont have paid time off. Shame on the USA council. This was supposed to be a happy occasion and instead its a stressful occasion

2018, March 13

Mowlana Hazar Imam is expected in Atlanta around 6pm today for his Diamond Jubilee USA visit to met his community starting from March 14th in Atlanta and ending visit in Houston on March 22nd.

On Navroz 21March 2018, Mowlana Hazar Imam will give Mulaqats to his USA Jamat in Houston.

Will Houston Ismaili Jamat make this the biggest Navroz & Jubilee celebrations of our time? Will bureaucracy overtake the voice of the heart?

Jamat arrives in Houston for Diamond Jubilee Mulaqat

Over the last few days, volunteers have been ready at information and registration booths at the George R. Brown Convention Center to welcome Jamati members travelling to Houston for Mawlana Hazar Imam's historic visit.

Eight-year-old Aayan Parpia of the Greater Dallas Jamat expressed how excited he was for his first Mulaqat: “I haven’t done this before so I’m happy that I get to see [Hazar Imam]. I’ve been wanting to see him for a long time. I’ve been dreaming about it... It’s going to be the best day.”

Over the last few weeks, the Jamat has enthusiastically attended special preparatory sessions for Hazar Imam’s Diamond Jubilee visit to the United States. Topics such as site orientation, educational seminars on the significance of Mulaqat and Mehmani, and what to expect on the special day were designed to equip the Jamat with resources they might need to ensure a memorable experience.

“We had a lot of informational sessions, orientations, and trainings. The direction of all the volunteers was phenomenal. I had no trouble finding my way,” said Nasrullah Khimani of Little Rock, Arkansas.

While the local Houston Jamat is quite large in numbers, thousands of Jamati members have travelled to the city via car, bus, and plane from all corners of the country. The Diamond Jubilee Call Center volunteers and hundreds of on-site Jamati volunteers have provided supplemental support for all Mulaqat-related concerns, and have served as a general information portal for visit-related questions.

Asma Bhaidani, Operations Lead for the Diamond Jubilee Call Center in Houston, noted that the line became active in December and has taken over 18,000 calls to date.

“While we did not necessarily have the answers to all the questions we received, our work gave us the opportunity to touch each individual struggling with any issue and escalate them to the Command Center which helped us get the answers,” said Bhaidani. “And I think our attention to each Jamati member has been impactful on the Jamati experience,” she added.

In addition to the call center, hundreds, if not thousands of volunteers from areas such as transportation, hospitality, stage construction, and registration have been working around the clock to ensure a smooth experience for members of the Jamat during the USA Mulaqat.

With Mawlana Hazar Imam’s visit, there is palpable excitement in the air; the Jamat is looking forward to seeing the Imam again in the United States after 10 years — or, like Aayan, for the very first time.

Above is the signboard in Sugar Land, Texas near airport where MHI's plane was landed and departed.

This signboard is flashing alternatively before MHI's visit in Houston, Texas but it has been not removed yet even after 2 days of MHI's departure.
