Roly's 3rd allowance

Dearest Benefactors,

Another USD 150 has been sent Roly on 2 March 2010. Please refer to image of CIMB TT captured below. I have yet to communicate with Roly as I was told that he went back to his village because his grandfather is sick. 

Let's hope everything is fine and he is back in school.

Thank you for your generosity. May Allah return your kindness..

Pictures, at long last

Assalamualaikum :)

These are some pictures of the relief mission we did in Cambodia - we went to a total of seven (or nine..hmm) villages which ranges from about 30 minutes to about 2 hours from Kampung Cham. There might be a couple of pictures that is not suitable for the faint hearted - consider yourselves warned!

Only a couple of these have a glimpse of Roly in it, because quite a number of them are circumcision pictures and i don't think it's ethical to publish them here. There might be more pictures with him in it...but we have a total of 3 CDs of pictures and my eyes just go @.@ trying to look for the right ones.

We have more pictures of us touring Cambodia then pictures of us doing the mission despite us spending only 15% of our time there for excursions to touristy places. This was mainly because the turn out at the villages were most of the time very overwhelming, henceforth we did not have much time to take pictures...all work and no play :P

Roly's 2nd allowance

Dear Benefactors,

We have sent USD 150 to Roly on 23 November 2009. Please refer to image of CIMB TT captured below. Roly has received the money and using half of it for his studies, and saving another half so that he can buy a computer.

Thank you for your generosity. May Allah return your kindness..

How Roly benefit from the money we sent him

Roly had snail-mailed me the receipts for what he used the money for. He had so far

i) bought 1 sphygmomanometer (the blood pressure meter - phew! I had to spell check thrice for this!)


ii) bought a 4GB flashdrive for his university usage (I believe he doesn't own one before)


iii) photocopied 7 medical studies books and 1 Dictionary of Medical Terms (French-English)


He informed me that he plans to enroll in an English course to learn to speak and read English better, so we're hoping to support him do that since a lot of the books available is in English and to study, he needs to translate them into French (many Universities in Cambodia use French as medium).

He said books are too expensive and money is too precious to spend on buying books so he photocopied them instead.

Roly's first allowance

Dear Benefactors,

We have sent USD 150 to Roly just about a week before Eid. Please refer pictures of the form and receipt on transaction made on 15th September 2009. Roly received the money through Western Union the next day.

This is not a one off thing and we hope to make this constant until he graduates. He is very grateful with the help that he is receiving from all of you.

Thank you for your support. May Allah return your kindness..

A note of appreciation

Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulillah, I am ever so grateful to everyone who has helped us spread the word, you guys are nothing short of amazing!

According to my pretty sister, Roly has used the first month's money to:
- photocopy 7 textbooks
- buy a dictionary
- buy a pendrive
- buy a sphygmomanometer

I'm trying to come up with a mini poster of sorts to be a badge/logo/whatever people call that, for bloggers to put up on their blog's sidebar for all the random people to click.

Pictures are yet to come, I'm a busy person I am!

Apart from helping Roly out, I hope this blog also serves the purpose of making (inspiring would be a bit too arrogant methinks) all the youngsters out there realize that even poor college students like us can make a difference if we try hard enough!


Atiqah
I use too many exclamation marks.

p.s. hanya Allah dapat membalas jasa baik kalian, hanya Allah yang tahu betapa besar impak wang kalian berjumlah RM10 itu ke atas kehidupan seorang Roly. Semoga ia menjadi ibadat yang dirahmati insyaAllah.
