Description
Last year, the Atlanta Muslim community came together to raise over $90,000 for famine victims in Niger and Mali. This year, we support another worthy cause. All proceeds from the 2nd Annual Humanitarian Relief Dinner will benefit orphans all around the world through the Al Yateem program of Islamic Relief.

Islamic Relief defines an orphan as:
"A child below 18, without both parents or father, or whose father has abandoned them for a minimum of four years, of any gender, religion or race."

IR's donors currently sponsor 17,000 orphans worldwide and provides basic necessities like food, shelter, and clothing, along with healthcare, education, emotional support, and even vocational training in practical skills.
Please join us on Friday, April 27th for an inspirational evening featuring two very learned speakers-Imam Johari and Bashir Mundi.
Tickets are just $25 per person. Visit the website for more information or to purchase your tickets today.

==============================================
I say this is a good effort made by the atlanta muslim community... maybe we should also publicize this event at Zainabia and get some people to go.
Besides gaining the pleasure of having helped some orphan, we should gain more prominence in the entire Atlanta Muslim Community!!
Tell you parents about it... its supposed to be formal and you need to purchase tickets.
