Description
Bara Kherigi, Awakening’s co-founder & director, reflects on the tests and obstacles that inevitably come when trying to do something good.
Drawing on a time when Awakening was close to bankruptcy, he shares how perseverance, faith and a belief in the purpose behind the work kept them going.
“The test will come. The obstacles will come. Each one of us will have a different test.
The question is: will you persevere?”
This is the third in a series of excerpts from a talk delivered at Inspire Changemakers on Islamic music, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship and building with purpose.
