About this campaign
In celebration of Welcoming Week 2020, LSSNCA is raising funds for our refugee youth program in Maryland. Funds raised will support driving classes and instructional trainings for the refugee and immigrant youth in Maryland who are enrolled in our Refugee Youth Career Pathways program.
The t-shirts on sale feature a design by youth client, Mujtaba. Fun fact: Mujtaba turns 21 years old on September 12 (during our fundraiser and Welcoming Week)! Mujtaba is originally from Afghanistan and came to the US in 2020. He has plans to become a pilot and says this is the start of his new journey in America. Mujtaba named his design “Please do not waste water.”
His home country, Afghanistan, as well as many other countries, face water shortages. According to Mujtaba “it is important to save water and use only as much as we need, this is all of our responsibility to save water and to not waste it or we will face problems, water is one the basic needs of humans.” The design depicts a “happy water pot.” This pot is happy because it is pouring out and wasting the water. That makes the pot happy because it is a lighter load for the pot to carry. If the pot is full and the water is being saved, the pot is angry because it is so heavy. We as humans, however, want the pot to be angry and should strive to conserve water however we can.

I volunteer with a non profit called Homes Not Borders (www.homesnotborders.org)to setup apartments for vetted refugees, asylees and SIV’s . I am proud for a young person to be creative to contribute towards bringing awareness to such a cause.
The history of America is built on immigrants who have brought their desire , energy and talents into our country. They are also the future to building a better Country going forward .
Good job Mujtaba. We are so proud of you!
Sending a shirt to Mujtaba! So proud of him!
Our refugees amaze me everyday! Mujtab did amazing with this design.
Water is life
