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
