Wyndham Muslims Community on their mission to a cleaner, greener Australia

By Javeed Khan and Abdul Mujeeb

Clean up Australia day is the largest community environmental event of its kind in Australia, we Muslims are proud to be a part of such contribution towards our country. We urge our community members to play a vital role in Wyndham area by joining our group which is aiming to have more and more cleaning sites every year.

HAAMI Inc.  is a Muslim community from Indian subcontinent, proudly leading this project and is ready to work with other immigrant communities to do it together next year. Every year we organise The Wyndham Muslims Community’s Clean up day event along with all Australians and this was the fourth year in a row. This year the clean up drive was organised on 6^th March, 2016 and it was attended by Councillors Bob Fairclough  and Intaj Khan (Wyndham City).

Our aim is to involve local communities in Wyndham area to participate in this environment clean-up day. Every year we manage to collect 15-20 bags of rubbish/recycle items just in and around the Hoppers Crossing Station car park.

Wyndham Muslim Community’s initiative inspired other Muslims groups to participate in this event in Fawkner, Dandenong and City and due to increasing awareness in community, this year women and children have participated as well, a step forward in educating our kids, our future, to help protect and care for their environment. This is a positive step forward by people of diverse background towards creating a cleaner Environment, a Cleaner Wyndham and finally a Cleaner Australia.
