ZAMAN ON THE MOVE
MLK Day of Service at Zaman International
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
On Monday, January 16, more than 20 students from Fordson HS, Northville HS, HFCC and U of M accepted this challenge on MLK Day by organizing Zaman's donation warehouse and helping us prepare for another year of providing Hope for Humanity. What a tribute to the man and the message we remember on this day!

Zaman Delivers 100 Thanksgiving Dinners
On November 18, 2011, Zaman International provided Thanksgiving meals for 100 local families. The Detroit Lions football team provided the meals, which included a frozen turkey and traditional Thanksgiving side dishes and desserts, to Zaman and H.Y.P.E. Athletics for local distribution.
Many thanks to students from Fordson High School and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Dearborn, who generously donated their time to make this project a success.
