Dreams and Visions



Dreams and Visions

When i was little, i used to dream to "save the world". I dreamed of working together for a cause, with people side by side from all the nations, in harmony love and selfless service.

Some years passed and i grew up some more and the balloon of hope had popped. because of words that i didnt even know, Naivety, Utopia. I discovered harshness in the world, egoism, violence, jealousy, I saw hate and as a youth felt powerless, small and worst of all, a cold feeling of indifference shattered my heart and my vision of the world.

After some other years, i found the faith becoming bahai two years ago, and from one moment to the other i realized that the distant dream i once had is now reality, it became true. I had now two choices, either to remain powerless, small and indifferent to the world, or to strive with heart and soul to serve humanity and help advance the human civilization.

How can i describe how proud i am of the youth, when you stand up to serve, when you find your area of expertise, when you use your talents to make this place a better world through educating the future generations, guiding your fellow classmates and friends with impeccable example and for the selfless service you are providing to the world. I would like ton encourage you not to miss this beautiful opportunity of having the blessing of experiencing the meaning of selfless service.

Alláhu abhá

The Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program




Baha'i junior youth programs aim to assist young people, as they move from childhood through adolescence, to develop their spiritual qualities, virtues, their intellectual capabilities, and their capacities for service to society.

Designed for young people aged between 12 and 15, the programs adopt a participatory mode of learning where the facilitator and participants learn from each other.

Participants are engaged in activities such as artistic expression, discussion, drama, cooperative games, study of literature, story telling and acts of community service. They are encouraged to develop a strong sense of purpose, empowering their own transformation and leading them to contribute to the advancement of society.

Junior youth programs are based on the teachings of Bahaullah. They are open to all, subject to parental approval. Classes are held on a regular basis and there is no written homework.

All program facilitators are certified under the Bahai Child Protection Policy, which includes a mandatory police check.

To get in touch with the community nearest you, please see the Bahá'í World website, for contact details of the Bahá'ís in your country.
