#project downtown

Last Sunday fellow Muslim brothers and sisters from an organization called Project Downtown organized a food drive for neighbors of all walks of life in the community. It felt good to see Muslims of various ages, & nationalities coming together to serve others.  Project Downtown (P.D). is a national initiative by the Muslim Students Association (MSA) to serve urban communities. One of Project Downtown's other initiative's is an effort each Sunday in which Muslims volunteer their time to create bagged lunches which are distributed to the homeless in Over-The-Rhine Cincinnati.  

While I am talking about Project Downtown I should mention that I've had the privilege of having an instrumental from my recent album JOURNEY: THE SOUND OF LIFE featured as background music in their first promo video which is embedded above.  

You wake up and begin your day by brushing your teeth. When you take a shower you wash your hair and your body. Shave and brush your hair. And before you walk out that door you put on any old pair of socks that happen to be tucked away in your drawer. These are the simple things we take for granted every day. Things over 17,00 people in Tampa dont have and therefore cant use. It only takes $30 dollars to give your fellow man a normal morning. The Prophet (PBUH) said “Whoever relieves his brother of a trial or a difficulty in this life, God will relieve him of a trial in the next life.” (Bukhari and Muslim)  Every contribution counts and a bag given to one of our homeless friends could be life-changing, or at the very least ease their daily struggles.
