"This is an opportunity for us to give back to our city."

As the dust settles in Houston after the catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Harvey, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) has sprung into action.

Made up of young Ahmadi Muslim men, AMYA has been working side-by-side with the Humanity First disaster relief outfit to supply food and perform rescues of people who have been hurt by the flooding. As the flood waters recede, they've continued to support the city by going door-to-door and helping people move heavy furniture out of their homes and away from the floodwater.

"Houston has been a home for us, for a lot of us the only home we've ever known," Rahman Nasir, a 23-year-old spokesperson for the group, told A Plus. "This is an opportunity for us to give back to our city. Islam instills these values in us, AMYA really helped us realize that and gives us a forum to go out and help."
