On the cold Saturday morning, on January 14th, a group of students from multiple University of Ottawa Muslim student associations rose early and went out to warm the hearts and fill the stomachs of people who are homeless in Ottawa. 

Two local university students have decided to raise funds to provide free wheelchairs in honour of a disabled family member in a most unconventional way: collecting pull-tabs off pop cans.

Lama and Narjes Zeitoun founded Kawthar on Wheels (KOW) last June, a non-profit organization which aims to provide wheelchairs for those with physical disabilities and financial challenges.
