On Friday night (21st September) I'm doing a live appeal with my good pal Yusuf Chambers from around 8:30pm onwards for Interpal
"a non-political, non-profit making British charity that focuses solely on
the provision of relief and development aid to the poor and needy of Palestine
the world over, primarily in Palestine and the refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon."
We will be focusing on raising funds for orphans and helping the Zaytoun olive oil project, aiming for "trade not aid" by selling high quality fair trade organic olive oil produced in Palestine. There are 500 cases up for auction! Tune in to IslamChannel for more info. Inshallah it should be lots of fun and a great motivator also. Donations on the night is what we are looking for! You can also try to phone in and get live on air, but be warned, lines get jammed up quick!
Alhamdulillah was an excellent night, calls were flooding in and it was amazing to see so many brothers and sisters giving in the path of Allah freely. I managed to get hold of those gloves from brother danny himself and dropped them off at the studio, it seemed you had plenty of fun punching mr chambers with them!
ARGcomment: Yes I sure did. May Allah reward all the brothers and sisters amply, and especially Danny!

I only read your post after the event! I pray it went well and may Allah reward you all for such a noble cause ameen! How much did you manage to raise? And is Yusuf Chambers the young revert one?
ARGcomment: Yusuf is the same age as me. We raised about £150,000 and sponsorship for nearly 200 orphans.
