2015 Governor's Community Service Award

On Tuesday, April 21st, the 99 Orphans Team won the Governor's Award. We won as a group award for the many hours and dedication we put in for raising money for orphans around the world. Along with 99 Orphans, the Rescue Rangers also won an award from Zakat Foundation for all the work they put in.

Planning 99orphans Iftar

Today at out meeting, we started to plan for an iftar to raise funds for orphans. so far we just listed the places where to get the food, how we are gonna organize it and roles for each member on the team. the iftar will be on june 25th. the iftar is a formal dinner, invite only.

American Bake Sale

Alhamdullillah our American bake sale last month was a huge success. We were able to raise enough money for about half the cost of sponsoring an orphan. I was in charge of setting up,cleaning up and taking out the garbage, as well as selling ice cream sundaes. Hopefully our upcoming Pakistan bake sale will be a greater success.

My Experiences in the 99 Orphan Group

Assalamualaikum, my name is Aarib Syed and I have been a part of the 99 orphan project for about 3 years now and I have enjoyed many things here. I have helped in many activities such as bake sales, videogame parties, and movie nights. I joined the 99 orphan project because I want to help children around the world and also raise awareness. 

Video Game Party Success

Alhamdulillah the video game party was a great success. We had raised 100 dollars that all went to the 99 orphans to help raise money for an orphan. We all had played many games that we all enjoyed. We played fifa 15 and had a 2 v 2 tournament. We played super smash bros and Mario cart. They had also played naruto ultimate ninja storm 3 on the xbox 360. Most people participated in the Fifa tournament but still played other games while they waited for their turns. Overall we all had a great time and raise a lot of money.

Leading the Events Committee

I enjoy being part of the events committee. Planing events is something I like to do. Even though it's fun, it's a difficult job to do. Figuring out jobs for everyone in the team is a struggle. It's important to give everyone jobs that they're good at. Bake sales are some of our most important events because there is so much work to do. I hope that the skills that I learn in the events committee will help me in the future. 

Preparing for Bake Sale

Today we set up for our American Bake sale scheduled for tomorrow. The money we raise will be going to American foster children and Syrian orphans. All of our tables and chairs are set up and InshaAllah we will have the food ready to sell tomorrow. We hope that people will come and support our cause as well as enjoy delicious food.
