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!

More Books

       Hi everyone! We made $85 earlier this month from money from donors in DE and OH. We are making slow progress, but I'm sure we will reach our goal eventually. I'm kind of having a hard time thinking of things to write on the blog and other fundraisers. If you have any ideas please comment!! I'd love to hear what you'd like to see on our blog or what kind of fundraiser you'd attend. Also....if you know anyone who would like to join, just email me (sabzzz1315@gmail.com) or any of the other members :D 

Richshaw Girl Books!

Salaam,
Great news! We have received 9 books, and sold all 9! Alhamdulillah we have raised $90! We are slowly reaching our goal. Great job guys!

Baby Steps

 Hello everyone! Sorry I forgot to write yesterday! I feel so bad. My uncle was at my house so I didn't have time. He's still here, but today I have no homework...yay! Anyways, I'm here to talk about The Rickshaw Girl book. A generous doner from DE decided to contribute $10 to buy the book. I know it's not a lot, but everything won't come easy.  Honestly at the beginning of the Rickshaw Project I thought that we wouldn't really progress. Although we haven't progressed drastically, we have progressed a fair amount and I feel that even with small steps we will eventually reach our goal. Plus, before any baby starts running they have to walk, right? Please continue to spread the word and if you'd like to donate or buy a book please contact any of the members of the Rickshaw Project.

How Rickshaws can impact people's lives

Rickshaw can really impact people's lives. People in Bangladesh drive rickshaws for a living. They get money buy driving a rickshaw. But some drivers don't own the rickshaws they drive, they rent them out. By renting the rickshaws they spend most of their money they earn on the rickshaws and then they don't have that much to spend on their families. So, it is really important for drivers to have their own rickshaws. The really good part about helping this important cause is that sponsoring one rickshaw is only $150. Help these drivers that don't have their own rickshaws get one.

Why I joined the 101 Rickshaw Project

Throughout the course of the past few years I have taken part in many humanitarian project.  However the 101 Rickshaw project stands out in two main ways.  Firstly giving a family a Rickshaw doesn't just provide a family with food, clothing, or shelter for a specific amount of time.  It empowers a family to provide for themselves.  In addition to this its only 150 dollars.  150 dollars can provide for a family and make their life sooo much easier.  There are many significant problems in the world today and I can`t do much about some of them. I joined the the 101 Rickshaw project because it enables myself and others to make a lasting positive impact on the world around us.
