2. Downtown Chicago rally protesting attacks on
Gaza Strip
I heard about the rally from a friend and recruited students from
various human rights organizations on campus to join me at the
protest.
3. “1 Year, 100 Wells” Fundraiser
The LUC Muslim Students’ Association began fundraising to build a well
in a needy village in Africa. I was head of the fundraising team and was
responsible for spreading word and getting co-sponsors. We were able
to raise more than the necessary $2500 within only 3 months of
fundraising!

4. “1 Year, 100 Wells” Kick-off Fundraiser
To introduce the fundraiser, I organized a kick-off event. One of the
attractions was a wii sports tournament where each game cost a dollar
and the winner gets to continue playing, at no extra cost, until he/she
loses.

Our second main attraction was a henna table. Depending on the detail
of the design, we could raise anywhere between $1-$5 per hand!
6. “Sunnah-in-Action” Blog
Together with a friend, I launched the “Sunnah-in-Action” blog for the MSA.
Every week we would make a new post showcasing a different way Muslim
students on campus could incorporate religion into their everyday. I was in
charge of collecting guest submissions, writing the blog posts, monitoring
comments, and managing our social media pages.
7. A Just Harvest Soup Kitchen
I go on bi-weekly trips to the soup kitchen through the American Red
Cross organization. As a board member of the MSA, I help publicize these
trips to my Sisters.
