Please DO NOT procrastinate! Donate that $15 to feed the children and the families. It is NOT a lot of money!

But if 500 people donate, then we can feed* atleast 500 people for a whole month!

• 1 Meal includes
  3 slices of bread, 1 bowl of lentil soup, vegetables and occasionally some meat

4 – Financial help needed:
2 Meals/day for 1 person = Rs. 40 = $0.50
2 Meals/week for 1 person = Rs. 300 = $3.50
2 Meals/month for 1 person = Rs. 1200 = $15

• We will post the Donation web Link by June 25th.

It will be one of the following 3 charities who are working first hand on the ground.

1 – Edhi Welfare Foundation
2 – Islamic Relief
3 – UNICEF

So now I have to figure out what that stuff is all about because I have a card, that I THOUGHT was like a debit card that would go into a credit card if I didn’t have enough in my checking. But boy was I wrong. My 300$ spent on the card totaled 600$ for ODP?? Which I’m going to assume is overdraft protection, but … if its a credit card (which I was assured it was) how am I overdrafting?

It’s something I’m going to have to figure out I guess. But I’ve taken the week off mentally. I’m just gonna stay in bed as long as I can and just watch films off of Netflix. Ah good ol’ Netflix. There’s lots of foreign films that are pretty good on there. Heres a list!

Charm School is kinda cute. A girly movie of course, but cute nonetheless.
Caramel was interesting.
Daywatch/Nightwatch were really good!

Ah…so that’s the ones I’ve seen off of Netflix…I have a list of others I wanna see tho. Anyone got film recommendations? Hit me up. I wanna watch “The Fountain” which I saw most of and it’s a beautiful film, but incredibly depressing. And I wanna watch it with someone but NO ONE wants to watch it because its depressing. They think I’m crazy because I watch such sad movies…it’s not my fault they have nice intriguing stories!

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmat Allahi wa barakatuhu dear ninjabis:

I am a muslim woman living out in the west who has recently set out to complete half her deen. As I set out to do this, and as I kept looking for information on how to come about finding the right brother, i found less and less information on sites geared for sisters, but plenty of forums and discussion spaces for brothers.

It’s a good problem or challenge to have, so i set out to solve this problem by opening one space of communication for sisters out there who are looking for mr. muslim right too and who wish to keep it within islamic boundaries inshAllah. I started a blog called quest for the right one, and i have it there for sisters who wish to discuss, comment, address or reflect on their expriences in questing for mr. right. A shared space for sisters but also brothers to talk about how they’ve come about completing half their deen.

I’m positive theres MANY out there in a similar situation and can totally relate! So check it out
