PASTIDAN TO PUSTAKDAN
When Muslims are facing unprecedented challenges, every small step to impact society positively will go a long way.
Two small organizations in Ahmedabad has a displayed ingenuity in developing ways to get funds for education for poor students.
Seerat Committee and Umeed Group, initiated a project in Juhapura their slogan is Pasti Daan se Pustak Daan.
Their aim is to collect funds for payment of school fees, providing text books and note books to economically weak students.
Under this banner the volunteers from both the groups reach out to neighbors and collect pasti (used papers), old newspapers, sale them and use the funds so generated to help the poor and needy students. Within short period of time they were able to help eighty students, Al Hamdulillah.
This model can replicated everywhere using recyclable items in that area.
