Mehru Fitter MBE

Zoroastrians calling…

I felt proud, privileged and honoured to represent Zoroastrians at the World Peace Mala, held in Cardiff on 20th July 2017. The meticulous organisation, the interesting programme, the effort made to involve as many faiths as possible and the hospitality at this event left all attendees very impressed.

The founder of Peace Mala, Pam Evans, and her colleagues are to be congratulated on this initiative, which seeks to bring faiths together and foster harmony, based on a culture of respect and understanding.

The involvement of young people – the adults of tomorrow is one of the most laudable features of Peace Mala.

On behalf of the Zoroastrians of Britain, I extend my best wishes for success in all your endeavours. I hope your Doves of Peace travel all over the world and strengthen the bonds within the family of World Faiths and show that peace is within our grasp through the mantra of 'Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.'

Mehru Fitter is a member of Zoroastrian Trust Funds of Europe and Zoroastrian Member of Coventry Multi-Faith Forum.
