Alhamdulillah today we held a Ramadan gathering of 40 blind people at our office . Ustadz Abbas read from a Braille Quran and his brother Ustadz Sharif read doa. We also gave them gifts for the Eid. The blind community in Kuala Lumpur is tightly knit and they all know each other.
Every summer for the last 6 years we have worked with Dar alQuran in Gaza to run the Light Camp for memorisation of the Quran, and insha Allah this year will be the 7th year. Here are photos from the last 6 years camps.
Life is very hard now in Gaza and the blind students are looking forward to attending this year's summer camp.

Muhammad Furqan and his wife Nusrat who are both visually impaired had arrived from Pakistan last year and wanted a Braille Quran to read especially during Ramadan. His friend Waqar who we support at his Braille Resource Foundation told him about us. Furqan is technically adept and is willing to offer his services to any organisation that wishes to produce books in Braille or audio.
As a follow up we sent another braille Quran and 12 braille books of Juz 30 to the Kishipur madrassa in Khulna, Bangladesh with the help of lecturer Kamal Uddin who told us about them . May Allah ease their plight.
The people of Afghanistan have suffered for so long under the war and the Blind usually suffer more than others in a warzone. Alhamdulillah brother Nasiqullah from the Kabul School for the Blind has received a Braille Quran from Alfitrah foundation. Inshaa Allah if we can organise shipping arrangements we will be able to assist the school further with more Qurans and Braille equipment.
