“Angeline: #education is our best weapon...Zhiena: like you’re planting the seed for your future...Hannah: it’s like a pillar that provides a foundation for your future... Mika: education is like a passport to your life... Dhanya: it’s about the overall development of a person.”

Who could’ve imagined that converting a few shipping containers into a #secondhand store designed with up-cycled materials & filled with unwanted clothes would lead to a miracle in Ibrahim's life! Beauty of #innovation in social intervention delivered through a #socialenterprise!

[لَهُمْ Lahum @Lahum_uae]

IBRAHIM’S JOURNEY OF HOPE. Look at the difference some unwanted clothes made in our community. By reselling them at Lahum, consumption needs were reduced, thus affecting water &energy usage, & proceeds funded Ibrahim’s scholarship enabling him to graduate high school!♻️#amazing

@GoogleMyBiz Thank you. We’ve responded accordingly.

[لَهُمْ Lahum @Lahum_uae]

@GoogleMyBiz We hope someone can get in touch with us to help sort our problem. We can't receive postcards, and because we cannot verify the business, we are stuck with incorrect information affecting our business - such as hours! Help!

[لَهُمْ Lahum @Lahum_uae]

@GoogleMyBiz The verification process is so frustrating. We've got no option to delete the business from google, the only option is to mark it permanently closed. We'd really like to remove it because we are not receiving postcards to verify & are stuck with incorrect info affecting business

[لَهُمْ Lahum @Lahum_uae]

@GoogleMyBiz The whole verification process is becoming a headache. We can't choose any other option than 'mail' & being all the way out here in Abu Dhabi, it takes 25+ days but we never receive the postcards anyway. We need to be able to make quicker changes to hours & other info @Lahum_uae

[لَهُمْ Lahum @Lahum_uae]

@GoogleMyBiz Our business @lahum_uae is all the way in Abu Dhabi, located in a recycled shipping container park. We're not receiving postcards sent & need to verify the business to change hours. We can't make changes until we verify & have no other option to verify other than 'mail'. Help!
