"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!

Please stay tuned here and on our Facebook Page for more opportunities to get involved. If you would like to discuss volunteer projects for student or extracurricular groups, please call our office at (313) 551-3994.

Thanks to your overwhelming support throughout the year, we were able to expand our reach this winter. In addition to fulfilling Zaman's families' needs, we provided:

-More than 700 items, including scarves and hygiene products, to senior citizens at St. Joseph's Manor.

-More than 500 items, including cosmetics and warm clothing, to local women and children through Vista Maria and a collection organized by the WISDOM group.

-More than 450 items, including socks and small toys, to men and boys in our community through Christ Child Boys' Home and the brand new Henry Tula House.

Be sure to follow Zaman on Facebook (http://www.fb.com/zamaninternational) to stay up-to-date on drive announcements, volunteer opportunities and other Zaman news.

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.
