Guyana Muslim Environmental Initiative

Salaam All

Today ISA school kids resumed their East St. Ave. cleanup after the rains.

Br. Akbar is the responsible teacher for keeping this environmental action going. He also mentioned that he has started the same initiative in Diamond New Scheme two weeks ago. Go bro Go. We need more committed souls like you.

Mr. Ishmael (a trainer of teachers) spoke to us yesterday asking about the campaign. He and his Canadian wife had seen us cleaning the Avenue 2 months ago and without any dialogue they just joined in. Only if we could have more spontaneous souls like them. He said that a project like this can become self-perpetuating if we keep the places in spic & span condition. You know the word...MAINTENANCE. Great words that boosted our spirits.

Br. Akram, the principal of ISA has procured some plants. These will be planted in about two weeks. We know the encouraging words of the Prophet (p) regarding such an activity. He also had words of encouragement for the project.

Two little Winfer Garden kids passed Abid & I this morning and excitedly said "you spoke to us on Littering" and they also said "we don't litter anymore". Hahaha...kids are so sweet. 

Mayor Green is still talking about Restoration GT...it's a pity his name is the same as the worldwide phenomenon like GOGREEN.org and other GREEN projects. Mayor...haven't you reached retirement age as yet or is your age as perennial as the green grass. You have outlived your usefulness two decades ago. There are young people capable of managing this city and bringing it into the 21st century...you have us in the 19th. And a repulsive 19th at that. Give it up Mr. Mayor and relax in your rocking chair and watch as young minds create a city that you would be proud of...within ONE year. And you spoke a few days ago of LeRepentir Cemetery...of cleaning it up. TALK again. You just are not able. Let the young clean it up so that when your time comes you will be happy to go and be buried in a classy cemetery. Right now I am sure you are thinking about cremation...you don't want to be surrounded by that terrifying bush that you are responsible for.

 

Please make contributions to the Guyana Islamic Trust (Haseeb Yusuf) or the CIOG (Sheik Zakir) so that we can buy brushcutters ($100,000 each). Thank you.
