* Refugees in the Triangle
There are two muslim refugee families that arrived recently from
Burma. They are in desperate need of help. Currently the IAR is
helping one family and the other family is currently helped by a
church. 2 hous of your time would be a great help.

Br. Nabil & Sr. Ilham are organizing efforts and are seeking
volunteers willing to spend 2 hours of your time a week to take care
of some basic needs and help for the 2nd family.

Please contact Br. Nabil ASAP if you can help (mobile:919-271-7063).
Also, please pass on this information to anyone interested.

We really are thankful to the Church volunteers for their humanitarian
efforts in the care of these refugees in need. This is indeed what
Islam teach us and we, as Muslims, are reminded of our responsibility
moreso and should be helping this family and others as needed.

Jazakallahkheir

What is required for helping the refugees?

[Cary Masjid]

Asalamalaykum,

Brother Nabil (919-271-7063) and Sister Ilham know best as they are involved with helping them.  It would be best to contact them directly.

From my understanding, one of the families is a family of 7, in which one of the brothers would like to go to the masjid so if someone could take him on occasion, that would be helping.  Also, I think some of the volunteers are providing a ride/transport to the grocery store, assimilating them, to the neighborhood (where things are), that sort of thing.

Jazakallahkheir for your concern in even asking for more info.  May Allah SubhanaWaTala reward you for that.

Asalamalaykum
