This summer a group of youth from the Az-Zahraa Islamic Centre in Vancouver launched "The Lifebox Campaign," a collaborative initiative to help the less fortunate in Metro Vancouver. The Lifebox Campaign was introduced by "Who Is Hussain". During Ramadan, members of the Islamic Centre undertook the task of filling cardboard boxes with everyday essentials, including food items, hygiene products and clothing. A handwritten letter was also enclosed in each box, explaining how Hussain's virtues such as  inspired the individuals to participate in this simple act of giving.
 
Children, parents and grandparents all took part in what proved to be an enriching altruistic effort. A total of 55 Lifeboxes were assembled and with the assistance of the Helping Families in Need Society, all the boxes will be delivered to needy families, new immigrants, single mothers on income assistance or women from transition houses. The Lifebox Campaign was only the first of many Who Is Hussain humanitarian based initiatives to be brought to British Columbia.
