Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu

From Tameema Jacobs

Dear fellow Muslim and concerned citizen of the world,
Image a life as an orphan….
Imagine a life living with AIDS….
Imagine a life filled with poverty….
Imagine embracing Islam with minimal support…

Indeed the above statements may be difficult for us to truly understand and empathize with but they are the reality of a remote village of people in South Africa.

These people don’t just have one of these issues to deal with – in most cases they face all of them as part of their daily existence. Their situation is coupled with severe poverty lacking daily essential food, clothing and shelter.

The plight of these people, these Muslim brothers and sisters of ours living in the village of Edendale, 60km from Durban in South Africa, is dire.

The responsibility to assist our fellows Muslims is a communal one and I am sure with the help and guidance of Allah first and foremost we can and will make a positive impact in their lives.

For this reason I, Tameema Jacobs, have launched Ramadan Food Project 2011 and set a challenging goal of feeding an entire village of approximately 600 families for the entire month of Ramadan – a target that can be realized if we contribute together for the one common cause.

It would cost approximately US$70 (approx SR262) to feed one family for the whole month. I am collecting as of now, so that by the end of June 2011, I will be able to purchase, prepare and distribute the food packages in Edendale in time for Ramadan. I humbly request your kind donation in trying to achieve this target Inshallah. It would be truly appreciated if you would pass this message on to your family and friends.

JazakaAllahu Khair

Tameema Jacobs
