The Greatest Commandment - Mark 12:30-31
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'[f] 31The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
[g]There is
no commandment greater than these."
Establishment of Q8Canada |
| • |
Q8Canada was established in April 2000 with the idea of bringing families together who migrated to Canada from Kuwait. |
| • |
We started with 3 families who decided to trust God and start an organization which would enable families from Kuwait meet at least twice a year and keep the fellowship going which we developed in Kuwait. |
| • |
Since most of the functions in Toronto are catered towards Adults and not to families as a whole and Family values are overlooked, this prompted the establishment of Q8Canada |
| • |
As of Aug 2010 we have a membership of 455 families which is growing day by day. |
| • |
Our members are immigrants mostly from Kuwait but also from various parts of the globe, e.g., India, Tanzania, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Canada, UK, US, New Zealand etc. |
Our Goal |
| • |
To have at least two social events in a year that encourage families to meet and keep in touch. |
| • |
To serve the community with the help of the talent and abilities of the families and to encourage each other to promote the business of our sponsors. |
Mission |
| • |
To create a community of families from Kuwait where each of them can draw support and learn from the experience of others. |
| • |
To keep the spiritual and family values that we had in Kuwait and impart these to the youth in training and encouraging them to continue developing the family ties and friendship they had in Kuwait. |
Vision
|
| |
In 5 years period, to see Q8Canada as an organization reaching out to help new immigrants from Kuwait and helping them adjust in their new land. |
| |
To help children migrated from Kuwait maintain their culture by organizing various social gatherings catered to the entire family. |
