| Introduction | Our Grass Root Initiative aims to create Islamic Caring, Educational environments for the most vulnerable sector, which are the Orphaned children, of this 95% Muslim land of The Gambia. We are not a relief agency and we do not have funding from any Islamic or international organisation or Company. Nevertheless Allah is very Merciful, and our humble efforts here in the Gambia are providing numerous opportunities,amongst our personal Muslim friends, around the world, to invest in the Rewards of Saddaqa Jarriyah. |
| Interests | Increasing Knowledge of pure Islam, Promoting Literacy amongst illiterate communities, Overcoming the challenges of grinding poverty in recent surfacing economies. |
| Favorite movies | Time is a precious commodity so for a little relaxation and to generate more ideas for our educating of Orphans projects, I prefer to watch beneficial media such as Historical, Scientific & Sociological Documentaries. |
| Favorite music | Natural sounds of the environment: bird song; dawn chorus in The Gambia, roosters crowing, rustling leaves in a breeze, ocean roaring, sound of children playing happily, frogs and crickets in the tropical night. |
