Dear Fellow Zarathushtis and Friends,
The Zoroastrians Stepping Forward (ZSF) initiative was born from a NextGenNow (NGN) session at the Fifth World Zoroastrian Youth Congress in Vancouver, 2011. Our goal is to raise awareness for those in need, particularly with a focus on shoes as an essential accessory to survival. Together, we can make a difference locally by addressing a global cause. Our leadership team is grateful for your time in reviewing our appeal for participation in the Second Annual International Day of Service.
WHY SHOES?
Many of us take shoes for granted. They ease our mobility and act as an accessory. But could you imagine living without them—working on a farm, going to school, or traveling along hot roads? Please join us on the First Annual Zoroastrian Day of Service, to be held from March 21 through May 5th, 2013.
WHY YOU?
We are asking for your support in making the Day of Service a success. Organize a day of fun with your community! Collect gently used shoes and help raise funds, for this important cause. There are many activities you can do, including: a sports day, picnic, silent auction or a community walk.
WHAT NEXT?
After collecting the gently used shoes, decide on where you can donate locally to make a difference. Choose from homeless shelters, to women’s shelters, orphanages, community organizations, YMCAs, Amvets, Goodwill, and those within your Zoroastrian community who may benefit.
We look forward to sending you more details in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] or 626.378.5564 for more information.
On behalf of the Zoroastrians Stepping Forward leadership team, we thank you for your time, interest and consideration. This project means a lot to many of us and we hope it means just as much to you. Let's follow in Zarathushtra's example by taking the first footsteps together with a good THOUGHT, a good word and a good deed.
Let’s take the first step together!
