This was Sheikh Abdulrahman Aljamal's first visit to Malaysia since 2012 due to the seige. He founded Dar AlQuran AlKareem was Sunnah where we have held summer camps for the blind over the last 7 years. Alfitrah foundation has sent 100 Braille Qurans to the students of this camp.

We were happy to see him but sad to hear of the situation in Gaza. Inshaa Allah we will start a project to employ two teachers ( one male one female ) for each of the 7 districts in Gaza to teach blind students the Quran after school. This would fulfil the goals of providing employment as well as strengthening their faith. One teacher is only paid USD120 per month. Please consider sponsoring part of a halaqah.

We have been sending Braille Qurans to the Rahman foundation for distribution all over India. Our latest shipment of 10 Braille Qurans arrived in Delhi last week . Md Azam a first year BA student at Delhi University received one copy yesterday Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah we welcomed a delegation of 5 NGOs from Bangladesh on Friday. The delegates had spent 3 days in Melaka being trained on the use and repair of Braille embossers by Anna Lau from Index Braille Technology Sys M Sdn Bhd. All these NGOs produce braille books for the blind in Bangladesh.

Also accompanying them was Shaima a visually impaired Yemeni refugee who is helping us with brailling work as a means of supporting her family.

We welcomed two visitors yesterday from Sydney, Australia. Ustaz Naseer and his wife Raowa were interested to learn about our work and to find out how to learn Quraanic braille.
