A tour Around Jolo, Sulu

  Assalamu Alaykum! (Peace be with you!) I just realized... I haven't talked much about my videos about Sulu in this blog. I have a playlist which you can watch if you are interested in seeing (or maybe visiting?) my dear homeplace.  Just check it out here: JOLO, SULU PLAYLIST You can watch this instead:      Yup, that is all for today.   PS. I am mulling over the idea of transferring my blog from blogspot to wordpress...  hmmmmmm    

NMC: Feed a Child, Touch a Life Program

Assalamu Alaykum! (Peace be upon you all!)

This post will be more of a full-of-photos blogpost as they say, "pictures can paint a thousand words" :) I will just give a short introduction about it.

Last December 27, 2014 the New Muslim Care Philippines conducted a feeding program and Islamic lecture in BASECO, Manila as part of its "Empowerment Event". NMC Philippines is a Non-Profit Organization composed of dedicated Muslims in the Metro who aims to help the Ummah in simple ways they can, worked hard for the success of the event together with other organizations like

Bangsamoro OFW Organization (BOFWO) and
Philippine Ramadhan Tent Kitchen.

Alhamdulillah, we thank all those volunteers who came to support us even though we have nothing much to give them in return. Verily, the best deed one can give is that good deed without expecting anything in return. :) 

Jazakumullahu Khairan and may Allah increase His bountiful blessing upon you and your families. Ameen. 
Now for the photos of what happened that day... (PS. there's also a video by the end of this post :)




Volunteers preparing for the activity.
