Brother Kabir
you are entitled to your opinion .
I just want to let you know that when someone comes to the center to ask for help they do not have the type of conscience you are talking about . They just want to survive. Many of
your distant relatives have needed our services and we are glad to help them.
Thank you for all your support .
I hope you will one day be in a position to help out in a more positive way
Wasalaam
Habib
