Salaam alaikum (May peace be upon you all)!!
I want to thank all those who commented about our initiative and expressed the willingness to take it forward. Firoz, Abid, Asif, Shah-Naaz, Manzoor and Imran thankyou very much. Your views and opinions are very helpful. I also hope that others who did not express their opinions about it will soon share their views and guide us.
Before we actually initiate this I want to remind everybody that it is not going to be easy. I am not saying this to discourage anybody out there, but to be prepared. Imran, I agree with you. Thankyou. InshaALLAH, with the help of ALLAH for whose pleasure we undertake this service, we will be able to put smiles across some peoples' faces.
Here is the initial plan:
1. First things first. We need to set up a non-profit. Manzoor has found some information about it and we have a reference in the office where we could register our organization. I will be arriving in Kashmir on July 18th and Manzoor and I have planned to visit the office for registering the non-profits. Thanks Manzoor. If anyone wants to join us to the office please let us know.
Oh Yeah, Please suggest a name for our non-profit organization. Something cool :) .
This is important because that way it will be easy for the donors to donate and for us to provide information to the auditors.
Here I want to mention that we would like to keep a low profile because humility and modesty brings in the pleasure of ALLAH.
2. We will set up a bank account in the name of the non-profit, so that donors could transfer the money. Overseas donors will be able to donate on time by transferring it to this account. Abid will help us in getting the information about the bank account. Thanks Abid.
Let us get started and then we could search for donors. I suggest that we take it a step a time. Small goals make it easier to measure progress.
Any suggestion/comments are greatly appreciated. Thankyou all for stepping forward.
Barakallahu Fik.
