It was heartwarming to see how they were able to judiciously deploy the little resources I gave them last year for the renovation of their mosque.

“We must, therefore, join hands in moving our nation from consumption to production, for the good of society. I shared my little Easter gifts, and Financial support with the community and appreciated them for their kind words, encouragement, and prayers.
