CAI is launching their 18th Ramadhan Iftaar appeal to help the needy with food aid during the holy month. Food packages will insha’Allah be distributed in the following countries by the end of Shabaan:

Afghanistan

Bangladesh

India

Liberia

Sri Lanka

Syrian refugees in Lebanon

Tanzania

The total budget for 2014 is projected at about US$250,000; we appeal to you for early help so our logistics teams can coordinate the distribution.

Thank you.

Alhamd’Allah, Abbas Jaffer and I recently completed an intense and exhausting 8 day trip to remote parts of Afghanistan. A school was inaugurated, another was approved for construction, a new medical clinic in a very remote part of Dykoondy was approved and the foundation stone for the 60 girl orphanage and 300 girl school outside Kabul was laid.

Please read Abbas Jaffer’s Trip Report here, which includes some terrificphotos of the trip, including a harrowing horseback trek through very dangerous and seemingly impossible mountain lanes to inspect a school location.
