[UPDATED]LI Forum Orphan Sponsorship Program Information

**kadafi** · 01-07-2006

LI Islamic Forum will insha'Allaah start a project where we (LI Members) can work together to collect as much donations necessary to sponsor one orphan for a year (or more - depending on the funds).

The cost will be around $400 for a whole year. Insha'Allaah, if the project is successful, we can sponsor another orphan or sponsor even more than a year.

We'll get a picture and an up-to-date profile of the orphan we're sponsoring telling us how he/she is doing.

The Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

"I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between." [Saheeh al-Bukhaari]

------UPDATE--------

Alhumdillah, so far we have 11 replies from members who are interested.

------UPDATE---------

I will list the payment methods that are available. Please do not attempt to send any money without informing me. Jazaka'Allaahu khairun in advance.

Paypal (Highly recommended):

- You can send money via the famous paypal system. You don't need to have an account with them, as long as you have a major credit card/debit card, you can send instantly. To send money via paypal, go here:

Direct Bank Transfer

If you want to send the money via bank transfer, then pm (private message ) me so that I can provide you my bank details.

Cheque or Money Order

If you prefer using cheque or a money order, pm me so that I can provide you my address.

Insha'Allaah, I will update if more find more reliable payment methods.

Jazaka'Allaahu Khairun in advance and may Allaah (Exalted is He) reward you all. I will insha'Allaah post the orphan's information as soon as I get it.

it would be better not to go through paypal because of the 3% money handling charge they take.

The surcharge will only become a problem for large sums (i.e. more than $1000). For small/medium sums, the surcharge is very small.

bro.

You read it wrong. The issue was related to an individual from Nigeria forcing ebay sellers to mail their goods by producing a fake paypal and ebay mails.

Can I send a money order? That’s the only way I can contribute, unless someone else comes with another idea (other than credit card). I really wanna help. Jazakallah Khayr for this opportunity.
