Visiting Elkton Masjid

Today, Aarif, Aamir, Furkan, and I visited the Elkton Masjid to tell them about our project. After Jummah prayer, we gave them a brief description of our project, letting them know about our goal to raise enough money to sponsor 99 orphans around the world and how they can help. Everyone was welcoming and they showed interest in our project. This month being Ramadan, we are hoping that they will contribute to our project and continue to show their support in the future.

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.
