We Emplor you and Employ you?!

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.
