This is Brian from Alfajiri Kenya, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the invitation and for the platform to share what we do as an organization back here with other young people.
Having young people take lead in making some critical decision is also key as from the meeting discussion. (…)

Greetings! Chandrakant and I are back home, replenished by the warmth and caring that so significantly marked the 4th Ahimsa Forum.
Till now the previous three Ahimsa Forums provided opportunities to learn from, and network with each other about “Making Good Health Contagious”. And we were inspired by leaders such as Maggie, Zelma, Tony, Katherine and you. This time we collectively transcended our individual identities to build the bridges you spoke about and create magic…..a quality of vulnerability that was so endearing, so very special……to be cherished, savoured and appreciated a long time afterwards. This is something we will carry with us.
Thank you for the gift of the Ahimsa Forum; we are grateful to have been invited. (…)

First off all, JF, hats off to you for organizing a great meeting, great venue, great people and great content to challenge both the new and old minds to think out of boxing to work together  to transform health care at the bottom of the pyramid. Really you pour your heart in planning this.

I just wanted to thank you for arranging such a wonderful conference at Les Pensieres.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting such a diverse range of people and participating in the Enactus activities.

The congratulations should go to you both. Building and growing a company from scratch is no easy task so kudos to you !
Glad that our cooperation is growing as well and the presence of Linda in Lyon – together with her skills- will no doubt help.

Many thanks for the mail and the nice pictures. I fully agree with you, the AHIMSA forum was a big success and a great experience for us. We indeed made a number of interesting contacts and I am sure there will be more follow-up out of the week. Thank you for exposing us this event and its unique culture. AHIMSA Forum was definitely one of the best conferences in the past years.

Thank you so much for organizing a wonderful Forum! I learned a lot from my follow participants and I made some very useful connections that I hope will bear fruit. I know how much work such meetings are to put together, and you did it seamlessly, and always with a smile.

It was really wonderful to be in the Ahimsa family space. Once again thank you for the opportunity.
Linda Mafu, Head of Civil Society and Political Advocacy, the Global Fund

This year’s Ahimsa Forum was an extraordinary platform that engaged faith-inspired organization (FIO) leaders and innovators in global health.
A week of thoughtful dialogue and sharing of life experiences by the young and the not so young. Amazing to see how faith inspires so many people to do better, why our work matters more than ever before, and why and how we must learn more from and about each other.
Delighted to see Abdul Bari Khan and Lubna Samad from the Indus Health Network and Agus Shamsudin from the Muhammadiyah Health Network in Indonesia.
Aamir Khan, Executive Director, IRD
