How Faith Saved Us | Stories from the CEO & Professor at Shoot For Peace
About this Event
An honest conversation with Dr. Farhan & CEO, Fawad Kalsi
Behind every struggle is a story. And even in the darkest moments, there is hope for a way forward.
Join Penny Appeal Canada's CEO, Fawad Kalsi and Professor, Dr. Farhan Chak as they share their personal journeys through opioid addiction, gang involvement, and the turning points that brought them back to faith, purpose, and community.
Hosted at the masjid, this heartfelt conversation will explore struggles too often left unspoken and how we can build a community where seeking help is met with compassion.
Whether you’re a young person navigating pressure, a parent seeking understanding, or someone supporting a loved one, join us for an evening of reflection, connection, and hope.
A past does not have to define a future.
Light refreshments and drinks will be served on a first come first serve basis.
Age Restriction: 12+
Given the sensitive nature of the topics that will be discussed, we kindly ask all attendees to observe the event’s age restriction.

🍊 Why We’re Gathering
Penny Appeal Canada is a registered Canadian humanitarian charity working to break cycles of poverty and respond to emergencies through food security, clean water, orphan care, and lifesaving relief.
Alongside its international work, Penny Appeal Canada supports communities here at home. Rooted in faith and compassion, this evening brings that commitment into conversation, creating space for honest stories about addiction, gang involvement, and the role of faith and community in finding a way forward.
Together, we hope to build understanding, encourage compassion, and remind those facing hardship that they don’t have to face it alone.
