My First Entry

Although I have been involved in this project for months, I have not had time to update this blog. Until now!

We have done a good deal of research and found a university that we think is perfect for Mohd;  Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM for short) located right here in Penang.  We will be updating shortly with pictures and numbers to give full details of what kind of programs USM offers to international students such as Mohd.

This does not yet solve the problem of funding and admittedly we do not have any previous experience in fund-raising.  But what we lack in experience, we more than make up for in hard-work and persistence.  That is why we are asking 500 giving people to donate $40 USD.  This is a one-time donation which, when fully realized, will fully fund Mohd to attend university, learn English and earn a degree.  For our part, we will not only conduct the raising of this seemingly enormous amount, but will also be the ones conducting its distribution for Mohd’s various purposes. From arranging flight tickets, providing day-to-day assistance, organizing housing, purchasing books, allocating a food allowance and on to anything else Mohd might require, all will be fully accounted for and documented for your consideration.  This is our contribution (and anyone else’s who would like to help).

As time goes on, we will continually update this blog so that those who donate may be able to see at any given time the progress Mohd is making.  Once his English and typing abilities are advanced enough, he can take over the updating of this blog if he so desires.

As more and more people donate, we will continually update the amount raised and how much is still needed in the sidebar.

Please tell everyone you know about this effort.  Thank you for visiting!
