7. Farsi Learning Courses
Starting from July 2009 the Farsi reading/writing courses for children is operational and rapidly growing. Holding Farsi classes for toddlers and adults is also planned and would be formed from the first school term of 2010.

8. Financial Issues
IMAWA is an independent organisation and stands on its own feet, financially and otherwise. IMAWA does not have any source of income, do not take any help from any government or organisaion and do not seek any sponsor to fund its operations. IMAWA funds itself from members and attendances. IMAWA’s Farsi courses (at the moment) covers its cost. However it is expected to grow, so that will soon reach to the point that turns to an income for the association and covers the cost of IMAWA operations.
