Beloveds I am writing this note due to we must not
allow faulty thinking to limit us as individuals or as a community. We
must seize every opportunity to improve ourselves and our community, in
shaa Allah. We can't be afraid. We must not entertain fear. The Baitul Salaam
Network, Inc. has been given a great opportunity to grow financially.
We must not be afraid of asking for money, working hard for money and
learning to manage money well. We must step out of our comfort zones to
do this and grow as an organization, in shaa Allah.
We were given an
opportunity almost two years ago that has the potentional of bringing us
hundreds of thousands per year, in shaa Allah. If we work it smart and
be consistent, in shaa Allah. The recycling project has grown however it
can do much more for us if we take it more seriously, in shaa Allah. We
must treat it like a business for it to produce the yield we need.
Right now we have enough drop off/drop box locations to bring us the
money we need. We just need more people involved to make it grow. Right
now we can pay people about $10-$11 dollars per hour to help us with
this project, in shaa Allah. However we can't get people with trucks to
assist. Now we have people who are not working in the Islamic community.
Ummm! To me if you have a truck or van and you are not working you
would want to help us with this project, in shaa Allah. Right now we are
paying one person the same day he works and another one gets paid
within 72 hours of working, in shaa Allah. We need some more people to
help, in shaa Allah. We need people to call their family and friends and
ask them to donate their clothes to us, in shaa Allah.
I know when it comes to
projects like this people don't believe it can really work so they
don't talk about it, in shaa Allah. Also I am woman managing a project
that usually is managed by men. Well, we have issues we need to discuss
and resolve if we are going to move forward, in shaa Allah. We must get
out of this narrow thinking about the ability of women to manage and
lead (this includes many women). Please look to our Islamic history to
see how women worked, managed and lead in many fields of endeavor. Just
read the history of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and see how women were very
active in the community at all levels.
Now I ask who is on
board? Who has a truck or van that can work fours to eight hours per day
and help us expand the recycling project, in shaa Allah? Who is ready
to step out of the comfort zone and be a part of true change and
progress? If you are let me hear from you, in shaa Allah.
We have drop off locations/boxes inside and out side of I-285. Call 770-255-8500 and ask me about how you can earn $10-$11 per hour working to help bring in funds for the Baitul Salaam Network, Inc., in shaa Allah.
