p0ach’s 1st Year. An Open Letter

Supposedly this is the day where I say Goodbye. I had a plan to go with this blog for one year and then close it down. Can you believe it ? Its been a year already.

I cant do that now. I cant close it down. I fell in love with your energy, readers, bloggers and family members. I am here to stay & try to make a change for the good.

That being said, after careful consideration with close friends and family members, I’v made an open, short informal message to my readers and sponsors:

When the past academic course started, iv seen many ads on newspapers asking us to help needy families inside kuwait aiding their kids with necessary stuff for school like bags, pens and papers. That shocked me. I could not understand how my country has such citizens that are under the radar while countless millions are given to countries outside of Kuwait. I could not sleep that night, thinking of those kids, how they might feel towards their peers in school. I dont want to get into details but that led me to many conclusions and most importantly, solutions.

The aim of this blog is to give back to the community. My posts, interviews and highlights does that. I want to take it a step further this time by sharing the revenue I recieve from my very generous sponsors with different charities to give back to local (Kuwaiti) needy families inside Kuwait.

I feel its my calling, specially when I do something I love so much, blogging. If I could reach out to one kid, make’em smile, then I want nothing in this whole wide world, I guess I could die happily, cuz in the end of the day who am i ? just a salve, a sinner. Giving uplifts my spirit and leaves me grounded.

Giving back will be in many forms and different occasions according to seasons and events to give the right people the right material needed. Who knows, maybe after this small step, big organizations will participate in their own way and eliminate this phenomenon. Genres I’d like to cover include Medical, social and educational needs for all ages and maybe help the elderly who need special attention.

I do not mean/intend to offend, look down or sympathize as if  im not part of this agony. We are one and again im no-thing but a slave, Im just trying to spark some light in the dark. Maybe this will inspire you to do something to someone. Give and you shall receive, that’s what my parents taught me.

Prophet Mohammad Said it best in this Hadith “The closest people to God are the philanthropists* and the most pleasing deeds to His Lord are making others happy or solving their problems or paying their debts or feeding the hungry.”

Kids are the future, kids are love, innocense and forgiveness. They deserve nothing but the best.

Organizations I have been in contact with include:

- Loyac.

- Bait Abdullah.

and more to be confirmed soon.

This is where I have to Thank you readers and bloggers for making this space popular and highly demanded. I could not thank you enough for sharing my stories with your work mates, your family, letting me in your rooms, offices, home and yes strange but in some cases your bathroom, why ? Nasty ! HAH!

Sincerely yours,

Abdullah

    Hey Abdullah,

    I never knew you had a plan to close down as I have only started following your blog after I started blogging :)

    I hope that you would never stop doing what you love.

    There are lots of charities in Kuwait give to good causes. I manage a small business and am looking to increase awareness of the different charities by giving percentage of our sales. If you are interested in working for a cause together I will be more than happy. Just drop me.

    Wishing you the best in everything you do.

    • Abdullah says:

      Hey Fate, first of all thanks for dropping by.

      Thats very admirable of you, I would sure love to spread the joy of giving, i’ll just wait and see how it goes first hand.

      I’ll go through this path and see if its easy or hard to manage, based on my analysis, i’ll spread the news. Trust, however, that no matter how hard or easy it is to do so, i’ll do it !

      Thank you !

  37. Miss Farah says:

    First of all Happy 1st anniversary to p0ach!….did you cut a cake? :)

    Second, I am going to be truly honest with you, you are the only blogger who inspires me, I feel that your posts are so close to all the blog readers and to all your fans, I love the fact that your posts are always positive and for a good reason! I also want to let you know that I will be informing my school in contributing to these organizations by helping the needy families, we waste hundreds of pencils, eraser, and all other school supplies everyday,so if you think about it, it’s not too much to ask from them.

    Good luck with everything you do and please don’t close your blog down! I will be very upset :(….

    • Abdullah says:

      Farah, I am speechless. honestly I am.

      I dont know what to say to this, but please know that I am beyond happy, excited. Basically on cloud 9.

      This comment of yours is cherished deep with in me.

      Thank you, I have no more words.

  38. Mr.Mo says:

    Abdullah let me first say that I admire your passion and and respect your cause.

    It would be nice if you could get your readers involved and make this like a monthly kind of thing. Readers will share their stories with everyone else and we will all feel happy :) By the way when I say involved, I’m not only talking about financially, people can dedicate their time (raise awareness, projects etc) too which in some cases is more beneficial. Anywayz let me know what you think.

    • Abdullah says:

      Hey there Mr.Mo,

      Thank you for dropping and for your kind words. Trust that I did have this in mind. The only thing I need to do is go with the flow of things for now and see what are the ups and downs of this process.

      When I get the hang of it, best believe, that i’ll spread it all out.

      THANK YOU
