Sensitive to the needs of our young Jamat in a time of uncertainty, and in the absence of regular in-person camp offerings, the virtual Mosaic camp was an example of innovation and dedication from a small group of volunteers in the UK, looking to inspire and educate leaders of the future.
With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, community leadership of the Far East region was faced with the unique challenge of engaging a widely dispersed Jamat living in 12 different countries without being able to engage physically. As centres were suspended and travel came to a standstill, the Ismail Council for the Far East adapted by utilising webinars, social media, and other modes of technology to keep the community connected with their faith with each other. Ultimately, technology was the tool that helped unite everyone and strengthened the relationship between the community and its institutions.

Many communities in Asia were not prepared for this sudden change, but the Ismaili community in the Far East have helped to smooth the transition.
As governments imposed stringent lockdowns with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ismaili CIVIC in the Far East supported a number of initiatives to assist the communities of Singapore and Malaysia. The focus of these initiatives was to assist vulnerable segments of society who were at high-risk of facing financial and health-related challenges during the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns.
