Charity Collection for Edhi the richest poor man

As its a project given by Amal academy but if we involve inner feeling also then its the best and easy work. Because its not works for the creation but its God’s work to feed all and to secure all so ALLAH may use differnt sources for this then why not us. With the same thinking we have started this journey. We never thought that we would be able to calling peoples for charity, at this point with no hesitation we would thank Amal. Yes actually we people were deprived of the platform through which we could do such an interesting work and it should not be the work rather a mission which is always incomplete the more input you put the more it required, a never ending mission which goes on from generation to generation like first it was EDHI and his son and daughter take his place.
During the very start of this mission we plan to visit edhi office to get guidline from them and also to have a look at his assets conditions the workers there it was nice to be there. We use pictures we take there to confirm our activities to the public, share on facebook page and whats app on their demand because it was necessary according to our deal and post for collecting money via social media and it worked out our total 6300, 2200 were collected with the help of social media, jazz cash etc. And we were amazed how beneifial it proved to be.


Other than the social media we collected about 250 with out box it was too tough even Meraj went to a shop and shopkeeper said where is the receipt register which is common thing edhi foundation do we were totally unaware of that and shopkeeper said to meraj you are going to collect nothing with out the tools. Ayesha, sidra and nafeel too try it without box and response was very poor, we think it there was a solid need to convince them with good communication in which we were almost fail but we were not empty handed for further result there was a need to have little more patient.
Then afer Amal session we got the box from Muzzamil and we started it from township where we found response for about 400 and then we shift to Link road here we collected about 4200 and here we collected from different shops and, Nafeel communicate very effectively and his mode of communication work very well. Our sligan was:
‘’ Uncle edhi sahb ko aik rupiya de do ya do quantity doesnt matter but its your contribution which matter’’
And that slogan worked. And its a team work. Our team believe that its not the perfection which count rather its the effort which matter and we did it. We know our contribution is not very much but we have learned how to do that activity and we are passionate about that work even Meraj have planned to vulenteer for shokat khanam after amal fellowship. And we are not fail rather we have phostphone our success.
As for as challenges are concerned it was very difficult without box, rejection, rejection and rejection mostly. As story of Meraj and a shopkeeper is explained above about rajection. Nafeel too faced rejection Sidra and Ayesha totally rejected by their friends. We met with a phatan too who was very intersting we greet with him and he talk normally but when we talked about edhi donation he said “ haaan, haaan mjhe smjh ni ata ( I dont understand what are you saying) ‘’ that was too funny. Some shop keeper were very rude even after holding the box infront of them.
- Identify the problem: there was lack of trust from public due to not having receipt register of edhi and box.
- Solutions: we try to convince, we take picture in edhi office, we get the box
- Think out of the box: We should use social media to convince and grab public.

4. Scarcity of tools box in start make us think about social media.
5. We ask for help feom friends and family member and it also helped us.
What we learn? what we esperience from this activity? Its way more amazing then our demonstration. We learn its not difficult to deal with street stranger and we thing this activity is made to break a very bad habbit which is ego. How to work in team. And how to control and tolerate rejection is the main lesson of this activy and we learned not completely but atleast some. Total amount we collected is 6800.

Its a team work result even we collect it with fun after hesitation in start but it became easier and easier as after many positive responses and many rejection at the same. And after this experience we come actually come to know that rejections a
