I-LAP is of the belief that even though the past cannot be changed, the present is in our hands; there is still time to rectify errors made by our ancestors and create a better living environment for the present day man as well as for the future generations. Through advocacy and lobbying I-LAP ventures to promote positive change at all levels in the society. I-LAP feels that peace at the national level is possible only when there is peace within communities and among people of different faiths and beliefs. This level of comfort within communities can only be attained through a better understanding of each other’s religions, faiths and beliefs so that misconceptions are done away with and minds are more accommodative in accepting activities pertaining to religious events other than their own. For this very purpose, I-LAP has been the pioneer in setting the trend to celebrate important Religious Days of all faiths such as those of Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Ba’hai, Muslims, and Buddhists with full fervor.
