Dear brothers and sisters,
Alhamdulillah, the Palestine Mercy Mission (Misi Kasih Palestin, MKP) project conducted by Majlis Syura Muslimun UK/Eire (and through support of various individuals and organisations) has successfully reached its target of £10,000 by September 2010. The total donation collected as on 3/10/10 is;
£ 14,818.45
€ 1,414.12
€ 1,414.12
Again, we would like to thank all donors for their generous contributions.
The donation will be used to sponsor a couple of educational-based projects currently carried out by Humanitarian Relief for Development Society for the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Specifically, a part of the donation raised (£5,000) will be used to sponsor the Rent and Furnishing of Abdullah Bin Mas'ud Centre (إيجار و تأثيث مركز عبد الله بن مسعود) project (amount required US$ 7,500). The centre, which is a tahfeez school, will be employed to accommodate 100 girls of Shatila Camp, Beirut and its vicinity.

A minimum amount of £7,000 has also been allocated to partially sponsor the Purchase and Furnishing of Educational Service Centre - Shatila Camp (شراء و تأثيث مركز الخدمات التعليمية - مخيم شاتيلا) project (amount required US$ 111,900). The school is one of the three educational service centre projects that are being established by the Humanitarian Relief for Development Society, in which the other two centres are located in Nahr Al-Bared and Mar Elias Camps.
£3,000 will be given to Al-Quds International Institution during the visit to support a welfare project in West Bank, Palestine. Moreover, a small amount of the donation will be used to buy some stationery as a gift to kindergarten children during a visit to their school.
9 representatives (Malaysian students in the UK) are scheduled to visit Lebanon on 8-13 October 2010 to hand over the donation to the respective organisations, and at the same time undergo a short course on Palestinian issues under Al-Zaytouna Centre for Consultation and Studies in Beirut.
Wassalam.
