In a heartfelt ceremony held at the Home for the Visually Impaired in Laudium on Saturday morning, Mahier Tayob of Tayfin Forensic Auditors donated a 16-seater BAW Sasuka Combi to The Garden Social Services, benefiting visually impaired children. This generous act was dedicated to his mother, Zarina Tayob, emphasizing the importance of honoring loved ones while they are still alive.
The event welcomed a variety of guests, including the Tayob family, with Maymoona Chouglay expressing gratitude and highlighting the significant impact of services for visually impaired children. Program Coordinator Moulana Aboobaker Chouglay underscored the extensive reach of The Garden Social Services, which operates 33 centers dedicated to various community needs.
In addition to the vehicle, Mahier Tayob also contributed five braille machines, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by these children. Councillor Naeem Patel praised Mahier's proactive gesture, noting, “To honor your mother while she’s alive is a very great thing.” He expressed hope that others would follow this example of living tribute.
Muhammad Tayob, Mahier's son, addressed the audience on behalf of Tayfin Forensic Auditors, sharing insights about the firm’s commitment to community engagement. He stated, “As Muslims, we could not turn a deaf ear to the challenges faced by these kids.” His remarks highlighted the significance of removing obstacles in the lives of the visually impaired as a moral responsibility.
The ceremony concluded with the unveiling of the combi, followed by a lunch for all attendees. Mahier Tayob’s donation not only supports the mobility needs of The Garden Social Services but also serves as a lasting tribute to his mother, ensuring her legacy of kindness and generosity continues.
