I, Rabbiya Abdullah and Nussebah Osman have started an un-official organizing committee, that will be organizing events and raising funds for charity. We are people who like having fun yet want to do our part for the society.

We have selected two committee members on basis of interest from each year of the design department and some have already been selected from the marketing department to assist us in organizing and making decisions. Further committee members will be selected according to participation.We had our first meeting a while back and the turn out was impressive. We decided on a name for the committee and settled with ‘T spectrum’ and people who were interested signed up as members.

Anybody who would like to join is welcome and can come and sit in on any of our meetings to see what we are all about. We took part in an event recently and raised a reasonably good amount. (Thanks to the people who helped out selflessly. Ahsan, Godil, Mustafa, Rameez, Habib, Jawad, Rida, Faizan, Uzair, Nabah and TDT1, Sherry, Nehdiyah and Saad)

We have agreed on a short term agenda and have also been offered sponsorship for our next event which we will be further discussing at our next meeting. We always talk about how we feel bad for the less privileged, yet we don’t want to give up the privileges God has blessed us with and so we are combining the two, so you can enjoy yet do a bit for those who don’t get to.

We hope to see you all at the next meeting!

Some Red for the Valintines Day!

The child sat there, his body covered in bruises, his left leg broken. However, his eyes focused on the cold body lying next to him. His blood-covered hand moved towards the soft, ardent face. His eyes searched for the warmth radiating from the face he knew so well. However, the eyes remained shut; the body numb. The child was a child no more. He had witnessed death: the death of his mother.
Happy Valintines Day!

This story is a story of just one of those millions who lose their loved ones everyday. Of those who are left to face the harsh realities of life. Of those who cry for help, their cries fading away unanswered. And do you know why their bitter cries remaim unanswered? It is because we flip through the T.V channels. We stop when we hear of a bomb blast. A wave of ocean and grief hits us.We shake our heads at the cruelty and the injustice, at the fate of the victoms. And then? and then we change the channel. And then we erase the picture from our memories. And it is then that their cries remain unanswered.
Happy Valintines Day!
Ignorant and arrogant we are! We worry for our night out with friends. And some out there worry for the answers they will give to the questions raised by their starving children when they return home empty-handed.
We are anxious about buying the perfect gift for our valentine. And the ones in Afghanistan are anxious about living through one whole day unscathed.
We cry when we loose our precious belongings. And a mother in Iraq cries when her son does not come back home walking, rather is broght back home in a coffin.

We celebrate valentines day! why not celebrate an Iraq day? an Afghanistan day? chechnia, bosnia, swat or waziristan day? Why do we not realize that we are betraying our brothers and sisters who are paying the price of being muslims, paying the price of having a strong faith perhaps. Or paying the price of being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. If love is such an important part of our lives that we celebrate valentines day, then why not show our affection and love for our borthers and sisters, the ones who truly deserve a shoulder to cry on at such a difficult stage of their lives. Why not show our love to an orphan by buying him some clothes? why not work towards bringing a smile to the faces who have forgotten how to smile?

For a second, remove the blinds of ignorance from your eyes and look around you!
What you see is fear! A child cannot roam the street of his own town without fear of being caught, kidnapped or hurt.
What you see is injustice! A girl pays the price of being a woman, and we remain silent.
What you see is hatred! Nations wage war against each other. While one kills in the name of God, the other kills to fight terrorism.
What you hear is the sound of the bomb!
What what you feel is the coming of death!

Happy Valintines Day!
