Here is a timeline of our social activism:

September 2010

Smile Train: Raised $300 for a cleft palate repair

The seminar during the time of the project was entitled “The Prophet’s Smile“, so the Qabeelah campaigned to ‘Spread The Smile’ amongst volunteers, registrants, and community members. Nurayn Projects took it a step further and raised funds for the Smile Train Program to perform a full cleft palate repair surgery.

We hope and pray that the beneficiary of the surgery can smile once more.
