Excerpt: Although crowdfunding on social media was used to fund the labyrinth, Naushad Kermally, Adam’s father, and his family were the largest single donors, and they also put in some serious sweat equity. The elder Kermally noted, “I didn’t even know what a labyrinth was, but the first program for parents, a parent orientation, we walked a labyrinth. I felt so at peace. I was just walking with people I didn’t even know, of all different backgrounds. It just made me feel so good on the inside.”
Kermally observed during one of the work days, “Look at the power of people coming together from all walks of life, African Americans, Jews, Muslims, Asians, and that is what we believe in as a family, as well.
At the end of the day, as an Ismaili Muslim, I believe that we are all from one, and we all go back to one. Being out here has been a blessing for us,” he said.
