Muslim Volunteers Set to Clean-up in Neighbourhood

Litter picking - Muslm Youth voolunteer to support Councils Clean up

Muslims are taught to be good neighbours and keep their surroundings clean. These lessons are not lost on members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who regularly offer their services to their local councils volunteering to clear up the neighbourhood. One such example is of the Community’s youth residing in the Bait-ul-Futuh mosque area.

After months of preparation and communication with local council, on Saturday 27th February 2010, they youth here were able to take part in helping the local community by cleaning and maintaining the alley way opposite Baitul Futuh Mosque. The boys and young men met at 10am to make their way across the road and make a start to the mammoth task of cleaning the much neglected alley way. The pathway is used by pedestrians on a daily basis but unfortunately was not a pleasant sight to see.

The volunteers geared up with gloves, litter pickers, litter bags and wore high-visible jackets with the Baitul Futuh Region emblem and “Love for All Hatred for None” on the back. Voluneteers went inch deep into the derelict area and started disposing of all rubbish visible. A few minutes into the task, the passion and commitment of the team started to show. They were adamant that if a job needs doing, do it right.

Within a couple of hours, they managed to clean ¾ of the alley way bagging approximately 30 litter bags, a tyre, pushchair, suitcase and many glass bottles.

Pat DeJesus who is in charge of Merton Waste Management at Merton Council visited the site while the volunteers were engaged in their task. She was pleasantly surprised to see so many were actively involved and was very pleased with the noticeable difference we had made.  She expressed how greatly appreciative she was of the effort we have made and took pictures for the local press. Future plans for this area were discussed and members are looking in to how we can carry out a face-lift of the area, making it a pleasurable and safer sight to walk along.
