Members of SAC or better known as Saifee Guards have taking it as a daily duty to collect relief goods and also to mention hundreds of thousands in cash by generous countrymen in last few days and as in tradition with the Dawoodi Bohra community’s style of work, they are also well planned on how to use it.
There are 3 sub-teams working simultaneously since last 2 weeks each team given to accomplish a section of the 3-Phase Strategy to deal with the relief work. In Phase-1, the team’s task is to collect whatever material or cash they get from their fellow Bohra community members and also a much bigger share from the non Bohras living specially in the surroundings of Saddar and Burhani Nagar (Qasimabad), both areas where Bohras have significant population. Due to the community’s clean reputation, Non-Bohras don’t feel hesitated to submit their donations to SAC Camps.
