[Islahonline]

07th February 2006   Assalam Alaykum   RE: INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON DISASTER RELIEF BRUNEI JULY 2006   I send you warmest and to wish you a happy new hijri year. I have the pleasure of informing you and all Muslims around you that an International Forum on Disaster Relief will be held in Brunei Darussalam in the period 10-20 July 2006. The forum will meet for the first 3 days and the remaining days will be for networking and sightseeing. For more information about the forum please reply to this message and provide your full name (including title) as well as a postal address. If you want a travel representative to talk to you about air-ticket and hotel packages please provide the name of your nearest international airport as well as a day-time telephone number.   The primary objective of the forum is to bring together Muslims concerned about disaster relief to share experiences and build networks of practical cooperation in the field. The term disaster is used here in a comprehensive way to cover major disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and disease epidemics that usually catch media attention as well as small-scale disasters that happen in communities such as fire, environmental, and road hazards.   The secondary objective of the forum is to encourage Muslim tourism to Brunei as part of silat al rahim. Forum participants are invited to bring their families and to spend some days after the forum meeting Muslims of Brunei and enjoying tourist attractions of the country.   The forum will feature plenary presentations by guest speakers of international stature and specialized parallel workshops at which papers will be presented and will be discussed. Preference will be given to papers on actual field experiences in disaster relief.   The working language of the forum will be English. Simultaneous translations will be available where requested into Arabic.   Invitation to the forum is open to all Muslims concerned about more effective networking in facing disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, epidemics, famine etc. They may be ordinary members of Muslim communities, or professionals engaged in disaster relief and medical care, or organizational leaders or policy makers.   Hoping to see you in Brunei Darussalam in July.   Wassalam   Dr Omar Hasan Kasule, Sr. Professor of Epidemiology and Islamic Medicine Institute of Medicine, University of Brunei Darussalam Jalan Tungku Link Gadong Brunei BE 1410 EM [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All views expressed herein belong to the individuals concerned and do not in any way reflect the official views of Hidayahnet unless sanctioned or approved otherwise.
