"This generation of young people recognizes the urgency of bridging faith divides in order to solve the world's most pressing problems. Interfaith Youth Core's exemplary model of dialogue through social action and its global leadership with young people of faith make it the perfect partner for this campaign."
Tony Blair

Malaria is the leading killer of kids in Africa, and the next generation of leaders are rallying to end the preventable and treatable disease within our lifetime.

A new chapter in the story of the interfaith youth movement is about to begin. Several months ago Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) announced our partnership with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation on the global FaithsAct initiative, and things are about to get even more exciting.

This Thursday, September 25th, 2008 in Los Angeles, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and Malaria No More are hosting a special interactive event, and we want you to participate! Be one of the first to pose a question to a panel of experts including:

  • Tony Blair, former Prime Minister and founder of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation
  • Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, founder of the Zaytuna Institute, and a leading Islamic scholar
  • Saleemah Abdul-Ghafur of Malaria No More and an activist for Muslim women
  • June Sarpong broadcaster and founder of politicsandthecity.com

The panel wants to hear your questions! This event will give the interfaith youth movement the opportunity to discuss how young people can come together across faith divides to acheive common goals. People from faith communities around the world will be taking part in this exciting interactive panel discussion.

Send your questions! We need your ideas and thoughts on how to take action together to solve some of the world's greatest challenges.

Watch the event live online on the Tony Blair Faith Foundation website at September 25th at 5.15pm (PST).
