Through his giant example, my beloved late father, Mohammed Abdul Hannan, taught me all about the importance and divine blessing of looking after orphans ... indeed, he was a much needed 'father' to many. With this in mind, in honour of his memory and indeed in sadaqah jariyah, I am pleased to join the Al-Imaan Cycling Club on its Tour du Maroc (Stage 1: Agadir to Marrakech) in November, a cycling challenge across the Atlas Mountains. This especial tour is all to raise awareness and much needed funds for the orphans of Afghanistan and Syria. Children in these desperate lands, who have had their fathers taken, are forced to beg for food and work, instead of schooling and playing ... they need support, they need hope. By joining and supporting The Hope Squad, our mission is to sponsor 500 orphans across Afghanistan and Syria. Thank you for your kind consideration and any donation.
