your community your responsibility

I joined the MSA(muslim students association) in Baruch. I have been going to many events they have been organizing, and I went to them just for fun. I realized two of the events I went to were actually workshops I could put in my planner. My favorite workshop was called “Your community your respnsibility”. The speaker was from the organization called ICNA relief, she helped abused and battered women. The organization basically provides shelter for women who are abused by their husbands or other families. The organization seems like they are doing a great job. She showed us a vedio where a girl talks about how the ICNA relief saved her life. Her parents put her int he streets she had no where else to go, she was reffered to the relief and they helped her out a lot. She was able to get a nursing degree and take care of herself. The MSA is also taking part in a toy drive for poor kids that is sponsored by the ICNA relief. I am thinking about getting more involved with this organization because it seems like they know what they are doing when it comes to helping the needy.
