Stand on top of the rooftops of Ichra, close your eyes and take it all in. The incredibly polluted air, the ear drum hurting sounds of car horns, the pungent smell of garbage lying all around you, take it all in. Now open yout eyes and take in the sights of the streets, kids half dressed running around, poor beggars around every corner, some so old they can barely walk and some so young that they still can't be without the shelter of their mother's arms. This, this is home. Now feel it. You are a part of this, the bad the good, this is your home. Your home isn't just the 4 walls in which you live in, no. It's the air you breathe, it's the ground you walk on. So try making your home better.
There are a million ways to make a difference, but this one issue, it's really close to my heart. This is about the little ones, this is about Eid. The celebrations of all celebrations, when we all go to buy new clothes, dress fancy, it's just a big party for everyone. So this year; I am asking for your help to include everyone. There's this organisation called 'Satar.' What it's doing is, it's asking for donations for clothes, so that this year, we can bring a smile to the less privileged people, and since we are helping the little ones why not help the old ones too. Hey, they too have got a heart that beats. I mean look around you, those folks on the street barely covered up, don't they want to celebrate Eid? Don't they have a right? And it's not just about Eid. Clothes are a necessity, especially here as it protects you against the scorching sun and keeps you warm during the relentless monsoon. So they'll benefit so much from your lending a hand to them one time.
This, this opportunity to help, it's coming in the month of Ramadan and it's to make someones Eid. So let's not shy away and lets help. Lets throw a pebble in the water, make a wave. Make a wave.
