Solving problems finding Solutions
As apart of the Islamic Five Pillars of Faith,
and the minority faiths, values and beliefs:
One concern was that of the poor,
impoverished and those finding no other
solution but to take their life and that of their
children due to poverty.
The Sabazar Society formed to tackle
common issues such as utility issues, street
lamps and security guards at night.
However they also felt the needs of the
people who is also apart of their community.

Parents have been impressed by the lessons learned by example and doing.
This improves the quality of life for the children and for adults alike.
The Community Garden is an effort by the community to teach empathy to
their children while reinforcing it within their society. It goes in hand with
cultural faith based beliefs as well as teaching land conservation,
agricultural and husbandry of vegetation, the promotion of utilization
natural resources for food production as well as the physical, psychological
and ecological health values of plants and vegetation in an urban residential
setting.

the Sabazar Welfare Society
and PGP, children have
learned how to negotiate
better, keep the environment
cleaner and are more aware of
the equality that all humankind
shares regardless of social
economic status, gender or
title. They have learned who
makes up a community;
teachers, friends, neighbors,
law enforcement and service
