People from all over the world will feed thousands of sparrows on 6^th march 2011 from 10 am to 6 pm with the help of 52000 bird feeders distributed free in different cities of world by Burhani Foundation (India).

Perhaps it will set a new world record of feeding birds in such a large number at same day and same time in different cities across the globe.

Once, those twittering birds seen easily in our backyard are now vanishing due to environmental changes. Sparrows are dying speedily and there is a need to save these little creatures.

On the special occasion of the 100^th Milad (Birthday) of Dawoodi Bohra Spiritual Leader His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mohammad Burhannudin, an initiative Project SOS has been taken by Burhani Foundation (India) to protect the endangered tiny cute bird sparrow.

Project SOS: Save Our Sparrows (SOS) has gained much appreciation from many environmentalists and bird conservators. Out of 52000 bird feeders distributed, Udaipur’s Dawoodi Bohra Jamaat has received 825 feeders. On 6^th march, this event will start at Chetak Cinema at Chetak Circle from 10 am to 6 pm.

The project came under action in a meeting lead by Tehkhum Bhaisaab – close relative of H.H Syedna in Mumbai on 1^st March where representatives of every city and other religious dignitaries discussed on the subject and finally 6^th march was the day decided to observe the final day.

As 6^th March 2011 is also the birthday of Syedna as per the Gregorian calendar and March 25th as per the Egyptian Islamic calendar and this biggest conservation effort would be held during the celebrations spanning over three weeks. Also, the day 20^th March is dedicated as World Sparrow Day.

Project SOS was started by India’s renowned nature and wild life passionate Mohammad Dilawar, he is also coordinating in this event with Burhani Foundation.

Moiz Kanorwala, one of the dedicated volunteer from Udaipur said that “three years back in a public sermon, Sydena said that birds and human being have a close relations, these two living beings have been growing and living together, today we human beings are still surviving happily but these little sparrows are disappearing in a fast pace, this is an effort to save one of the closest neighbor of human being”
