Let's get back in action!

Looks like we've all gotten busy with other things and so I wanted to quickly post a reminder for us to get back no this project and complete it by the end of the year in ha Allah!!! Let's set up goals and work hard to see them come to fruition in Sha Allah :)

Here's a start - sold 3 rickshaw books in Ramadan :)

Coming Back After a Major Hiatus

  Hi friends!

It seems like we've become very inactive (myself included). This is alright because I understand school has started and we are all busy with our extracurriculars. I'm so impressed at the $6,000 we have earned so far MashAllah. We are almost halfway to our goal :) This is a huge milestone and I'm glad we made it this far. If you know anyone who still wants to donate, please tell them the ZF 101 Rickshaw Project is still up and running. I encourage all the members to keep writing and making video's like the video Nasi made. If you haven't seen it, you should totally go watch it because it is 1) a very good idea and 2) you get a real life account of what it's like to be a rickshaw driver. Also, if you know anyone interested in joining the project please email me or any of the other members :DD And if there is anything you think 101 Rickshaw project should do (that we aren't doing/writing about already) please let us know!! Thanks xx

40 Rickshaws!

We are lucky to have one of our team members go to Bangladesh and spend time with some rickshaw drivers. We are now able to fully understand the hardships and difficulties of renting rickshaw drivers. Thanks to the video, my grandfather was inspired to donate 1 rickshaw. Hopefully this video will inspire many more to donate inshallah. We have raised enough money for 40 rickshaws which is $6000. Thanks to all the donars who helped us raise this much. Visit this website often to see the thermometer and our progress. Please donate, even the smallest amount makes a big difference!

     $6000!!!

1 more rickshaw!

Assalamualaykum,
                This is Nasi from Tennessee. My mom's uncle was inspired by my video and donated $150 for the rikshaw project.

37 rickshaw done!

Alhamdullilah, we received enough money for another rickshaw! During my winter break, one of my family members gave us $150! We have raised enough money for 37 rickshaws. That is $5625. If you want to see how close we are to our goal check the thermometer on the right of this page. We are halfway through our 38th rickshaw. Please donate! Be the one who brightens a whole families life!
