CHARITY
Alhamdulillah I was lucky enough to go on deployment to Lebanon in July 2022 to help our Palestinian & Syrian refugee brothers & sisters. If you were wondering what deployment means, it is when you go to a different country and help the people that are most in need. I even ran my first ever 1/2 marathon in Marrakesh, which I raised money for Gaza Palestine.
​
Alhamdulillah I was also blessed with going to Palestine where I went to Al Aqsa Masjid and to the West Bank where I visited a local orphanage. Palestine & deployment was one of the best experiences of my life. I am so grateful that I got to go. I learnt so much from going, mainly from the children. They taught me so much. They were so grateful for what little they have.
The main thing that I learnt was they were a lot closer to Allah than we are. Their iman is so strong and no matter what they always say Alhamdulillah.

They were the nicest people I have ever met, they where so kind and caring but also super strong. We were always play fighting and having arm wrestle battles. I miss them loads. We really need to be doing more for them and keep fighting for them.
BEFORE YOU GO...
When I was on deployment we did lots of different things but the main things we did in the camps were:
Pack the food parcels then give them out to the families
​
Visited the different Palestinian & Syrian camps
​
Helped out in the different camps we visited
​
Played with the children in the camps and making sure they had lots of fun
​
We took children that didn’t have a mum & dad on fun day at the beach
​
We also took them shopping for Eid clothes
​​
We took another group of children that don’t have a mum & dad out for a fun day to a circus show with lots of bouncy castles
