Insha'Allaah, if we start this project, we will choose an orphan from the
following countries: - Bangladesh
- India
- Mali

Nooo *faints* No please not Islamic relief. The reason being that, much of the fund is taken up in adminstration fees. Trust me on this one. We need own recruits to go out there and set up bank accounts for the orphans to be helped. One visit per country is enough and then donations can be transferable that way. This is the way I have planned to do it in Pakistan, only I have to set up my business in order to start the charity work. But there is no reason why I cannot be a part of this inshaAllah. I am also willing to make the trips abroad, especially as my long term goal is charity work anyway, so the experience will be good for me. But first things first, I recommend you open an account for this purpose only and we do this on our own. No middlemen involved. Their cuts/costs can provide another orphan for a year. Hope that makes sense. But subhanAllah brother Kadafi, mashaAllah what a superb idea
