My dear friends
ReplyDeleteAssalamualaikum
Alhamdullilah.I thank for posting my request for sponsoring a student –Academic Excellence....on our blog. Let me write a brief background of SLMSWA. A few Sri Lankan Muslims who are residence in Western Australia decided to start an association soon after the 2004 Tsunami. We incorporated the association as Sri Lankan Moors Society of WA and since then actively operating to date. Our main aim is to look after the welfare of the members and assist our motherland (Sri Lanka) in all possible ways. I was the inaugural president of 2004/05 and since then I have served in the executive committee until the end of last year. As we have a few Malays joining us we have to change the name to Sri Lankan Muslim Society of WA Inc.
We have been financially helping a few students in Sri Lanka in the past through various associations operating in Sri Lanka. As this assistance was really appreciated by the recipients, we decided to continue for another year. This time I made a proposal to sponsor two students from ZCM through Mid 80’s.They agreed for one as they have already chosen a student from Al Mubarak Central College Malwana.
I am very glad to learn that already two of our members are ready to sponsor students in similar arrangement. This is an excellent way to begin our academic contribution to our college. The aim of mid 80’s sponsoring such projects should be a long term one. Not just helping one or two students but encouraging the school management to start an ‘ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAM’ and once it is in operation we could find more of this nature of scholarships to support the needy students Insha Allah.
I have ensured the executive committee of SLMS that Mid 80’s will liaise with us professionally. The funds are ready so please respond promptly; however, plan carefully to get the appropriate candidate. I have no doubt that we can expect the utmost cooperation from Mr Iqbal and Mr Siddique to make this task a success.
May Allah reward your efforts.
Thanks
Imtiaz
