HUMANITARIAN DAY -
2009 HD Update
Los Angeles June 2009 – The month of June will begin community awareness and education about homelessness in Southern California, regarding the estimated 68,000+plus homeless people in Los Angeles County (reported by LAHSA). Several organizations are planning to service the Los Angeles, Long Beach, Inland Empire and Orange County areas; in the month of September/ Ramadan with Humanitarian Day (HD).
Founders and organizer, ILM Foundation whose mission is; “Teaching Life Skills to Replace Social Ills”, will coordinate with community partners for Skid Row’s 10th Annual Humanitarian Day. HD’s domestic events service communities every Ramadan with personal tangible items, food, hygiene products and medical screenings. “Preserving human dignity is our main service” says Naim Shah Jr, ILM Foundation’s Executive Director. He further states, “Education is very important informing the people could hopefully stimulate more activities in assisting our local governments with this domestic problem.”
The 2009 Coalition to Preserve Human Dignity (CPHD) coordinators will include Uplift Charity in the Inland Empire, South Central’s Bilal Learning Center, Los Angeles Umma Clinic, Masjid Al Shareef in Long Beach, the Muslim communities of La Canada and Pasadena, communities of Orange County for Santa Ana and Ar Raazaq Food Pantry in Kansas City. These organizations have a domestic concern about issues that affect the entire health of their communities and will utilize resources in treating it.
Humanitarian Day was founded and established the ILM Foundation in Los Angeles 9th District and HD has been held in 21 cities across the United States since 2001 servicing over 70,000 people. Two African countries; Ghana and Indonesia have also established HD’s mission to “Convert One Day into a Life’s Mission” and with the help of more sponsoring organizations and grants HD will continue to provide the good will that is found within its commitment.
Humanitarian Day for Southern California is being scheduled to take place in September/ Ramadan.
