RECYCLING WASTE TO LIFE GIVING WATER

Raheem Huseinbhai is a sophomore in high school, he has collected bottles, aluminum
cans and plastics from four gyms, several stores and several family friends for nine months.   He has spent many hours each week collecting, sorting and then taking everything to a Recycling Center for payment.  His goal was to collect the money and give the earnings to  do a water project in Africa.  His mother said “I will match what you raise”.  He collected $1,650, the money has been given to the Africa Oasis Project to do a well in Tanzania.

I was amazed at this young man and the passion he has for the hurting in Africa.  We all can learn from him.  His statement in the letter he gave to prospective clients was “We can convert one person’s trash to another person’s HOPE”

Thanks Raheem!!
