SUMMARY:Community Humanitarian Trip
DESCRIPTION:The issues of poverty\, hunger\, and starvation are among the most pervasive and severe issues that face humanity. There is nothing more horrifying than the realization that as we live our happy lives here\, millions of our fellow human beings live in hunger and face starvation. Apart of the Humanitarian Relief Initiative we would like to invite our brothers and sisters 18 years and older to participate in a revolutionizing trip to refugee camps in Turkey. This is your chance to go behind the scenes and help deliver aid to families in need. As the Prophet (PBUH) said\, “The one who looks after a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allah’s Cause\, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 7\, Book 64\, Number 265]. \n
