Story
I have pledged to raise £7000.00 for Islamic Relief's Orphan Fund, with the help of the Coventry IR Volunteers Team, and we are nearly there. A very special thank you to MesmerEyez.com for donating a massive £3000.00 towards this cause.
In 2008, I trekked to Mt. Everest Basecamp and raised £20,000 for the same cause (http://www.justgiving.com/k2orphans). I often remind myself of how many lives I must have saved, but since then, thousands of orphaned children have passed away. Now I ask myself, how many of these deaths could I have prevented???
I can't answer that question, but I know that if you help me raise £7000.00 this Ramadhan, we can change lives and give a better quality of life to those children who are less fortunate than us.
If you are donating Zakaat, please ensure yout tag "Zakaat" in the comment box so that your doantion will be treated in accordance to the laws of Zakaat, ensuring your obligation is complete.
Every penny counts, so please give as little or as much as you can. A little help will go a long way so please do a good deed and help an orphan in need!!
