Understanding AlQuran
Afghan Refugees
The EIC community can extend help to Afghan refugees in a variety of ways. The following are a few ways through which the members of the EIC community can support the Afghan refugees.
1. Financial Donations
Please donate to the Afghan Refugees settlement. The money raised from the Evergreen community will be used to provide temporary housing, organize food/grocery distribution, as well as sponsoring other basic household necessities.
2. In-Kind Donations
Please donate non-perishable food items(can be dropped at the Masjid lobby area ), new or used furniture, used cars, and/or household appliances that are in good working conditions. Volunteers will collaborate with authorized agencies to deliver these to the Afghan refugee families.
3. Become Family Support
Be a support system to the Afghan families by providing them the necessary support to help them adjust to their new environment. This would involve driving them to doctor’s appointments, SSN offices, DMV appointments, and other transportation needs. Furthermore, volunteers can help with providing any necessary financial literacy lessons and enable them to adjust to their new surroundings and environment.
4. Coaching/Tutoring classes for young Afghan school kids
High school and/or college kids can volunteer by helping to provide tutoring to younger Afghan refugees to help them adjust to their new school environment. The kids need tutoring in English, Math, and other subjects taught at elementary, middle, and high school. EIC Volunteers will collaborate with authorized agencies to conduct the
classes. The tutors will receive volunteering hours as well as a unique experience to discuss future college applications.
To become family support or to conduct coaching/tutors, volunteers need to be registered with authorized agencies. EIC Afghan refugee taskforce volunteer will coordinate the registration process with an authorized agency.
Please donate at https://www.eicsanjose.org/wp/afghan-refugees for the Afghan Refugee cause. Please sign up for the EIC newsletter for details.
Please contact EIC Afghan Refugee Taskforce volunteers at [email protected] if you want to volunteer, for In-Kind donations, or for any further clarifications**.**
Hadith of the Week
Abu Salama Reported:
I used to see dreams (and was so much perturbed) that I began to quiver and have temperature, but did not cover myself with a mantle. I met Abu Qatada and made a mention of that to him. He said: I heard Allah's Messenger () as saying: A good vision comes from Allah and a (bad) dream (hulm) from devil. So when one of you sees a bad dream (hulm) which he does not like, he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from its evil; then it will not harm him.
- Sahih Muslim
