For those of you who care about the environment, I've been looking to create a volunteer group to take part in activities such as clean ups and planting trees in the South Jersey/Philly area. These events would typically take place on weekends and not only would you be making the world a better place, but you would also meet other people with similar interests.
Please express your interest by replying to this journal and we'll see if we can set up an event, InshAllah!
