Deepening the strength of those who serve community and new Muslims.


​Strengthening our Community Servants.

Our city of Calgary, has great community volunteers, servants and leaders that do their best to assist Muslims and the greater community alike, however, more skill and capacity could be brought to bear by sending an individual to Ta'leef Collective in Fremont, California for their Refining the Core program. Want more information about the program, watch this. 

Who is applying to go?

I, Christopher Venus am asking you to consider supporting my efforts to attend Ta'leef's Refining the Core program, by funding the $2500 USD tuition, travel and lodging that would be needed to attend.  I desire to attend the Autumn week-long session in late September 2019.

​Why support Chris?

Well what can I say, I am a committed individual who seeks knowledge at every opportunity and wishes to apply whatever I learn by serving the community whole-heartedly. I have a track record of serving New Muslims, born-Muslims, and seekers of knowledge for the past 6 years, combined with groups like Western Muslim Initiative and currently with New Muslim Circle Calgary.

​Track record.

Alhamdulillah, after a successful campaign last year to raise funds for book bags, packed full of great Islamic knowledge for New Muslims, born-Muslims renewing faith and those seeking I have handed out one third of the 80-some bags assembled. I also do whatever I can to hold learning circles, with the guidance and help from local and trusted teachers and imams. This continues in the form of offering meet-ups to discuss topics and opportunities to learn from he the book "Being Muslim: A Practical Guide" by Asad Tarsin.

May your efforts, fasting and prayers this month be blessed and multiplied. 

​The Approximate Budget.

Well it won't cheap, but here's the rough break down.

  • ​Program Tuition is $2,500 USD (Approx. $3,400 CAD as of May 5, 2019)
  • Flying there costs between $450-$700 CAD
  • Airbnb near their facility is about $560 CAD
  • This does not include, other ground transport, like any bus, Uber, Lyft etc
  • Does not include the meals I would pay for myself

I’m on my way to Ta’leef Academy

Salam alaykum to you and your beloved,


I write this as I sit at the gate to board by plane to San Francisco. I will be attending the Ta’leef Academy from Monday, October 27 to Sunday, November 3.

JazakAllah khayr for the donation you gave to make this possible. 

I cannot wait to participate and develop myself further in the path of serving community.

I will be sure to make a dua’a for you while travelling. 

Only once I’ve thanked you, I have began to thank Allah. 

Kindest regards and at your service,

Christopher Venus
