A TAXI driver is doing his bit to help victims of the Haiti earthquake.
Tahirul Hasan Juned, pictured, will donate 10 per cent of his fares until Monday, February 15, to the Oxfam Haiti appeal.
He has also been visiting shops near his Chipping Norton home, collecting donations.
Mr Hasan, 44, of Cornish Road, said: “It’s very important, because people are dying, people have no houses, people have no food. I think our community needs to help them, that’s why I hope people will come forward and help.”
Mr Hasan is also taking donations for his charity Anonddo, which means ‘happy’ in Bengali. The charity was founded 20 years ago and helps fund secondary education for young Bangladeshis.
Its latest project is to buy an ambulance for a village in Bangladesh.
