This Ramadhan Debenhams did something special for the people in need. Debenhams had teamed up with Akhuwat Foundation and Karachi Relief Trust to help the less fortunate in our society. I hope you all were just as excited to see campaigns like give and take as I was. All we had to do was go to the Debenhams store with a bag of old clothes and donate them at the drop boxes placed inside the store and in return we got an amazing discount of 20% on all  full priced items. I shopped for the first time without feeling guilty. It felt great to be part of this great cause and help Debenhams bring about a social change after all charity does begin at home. I have made my contribution to the society, Have you?   Tags; #DebenhamsPK #Charity #SocialWork #GoodCause Written & Published By; RABBIYA YOUNUS
