Salim Damji - Impact On The Ismaili Community and Relatives

Impact On The Ismaili Community and Relatives

Salim Damji had a fairly high level of trust in the Ismaili community. This is partially because investors were told that they were being given priority over others as a result of being members of his community. He also returned investors' money upon request. His donation of 1.5 million also made waves within the community. Some believe that the fraud has broken a great deal of trust that was once present within the community.

Zahra Lavji divorced Salim Damji shortly after the fraud was exposed, and indicated that she did not believe her former husband did not know where the money was when she told CTV that "if you're smart enough to do this, I don't think you're dumb enough to lose it all."

Famous quotes containing the words impact on, impact, community and/or relatives:

    Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    Conquest is the missionary of valour, and the hard impact of military virtues beats meanness out of the world.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.
    Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)

    Every milestone of a firstborn is scrutinized, photographed, recorded, replayed, and retold by doting parents to admiring relatives and disinterested friends. . . . While subsequent children will strive to keep pace with siblings a few years their senior, the firstborn will always have a seemingly Herculean task of emulating his adult parents.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
