Chennai: Abdul Hasan, a class 8 student of Razeena Matriculation Higher Secondary school collected around Rs 2,000 during the Ramzan month as he believes that it will be contributed for a good cause.
During Ramzan, Muslim Education Society (MES) inspired the students of Razeena Matriculation Higher Secondary School to collect money in 10s, 100s and 1000s and this year they collected around Rs 1.5 lakh.
