Good day everyone. I hope all of you are doing well. So, this is going to be a follow up post of Project Ramadan 2.0 initiative that I published approximately 18 days ago. I'm happy to share that I've successfully executed this year's initiative and completed providing food to 20 poor families.

Cash Memo
This is list of total expenditure of Project Ramadan. Average cost per family was 1508.75 BDT (13.05 $). I'm not much comfortable to capture or share photos while donating, but still I took some photos while distributing foods. I'm sharing some photos of packaging and distribution process as proof below:-

It's not just about funding, it was harder to perform duties of a student, a hiver during fasting and distribution of food under Extreme weather conditions. Congo pongo for successfully over coming all hurdles.
I usually don't do charities (unless it's me being actively involved) as my mind have alot of doubts and questions about the use of money but whatever it's someone from hive, it increases my trust.
For example, if it was not your case and similar scenario but with chairty curruption. They hold money for 2-3 months and invest it while reaping profits for themselves. Then after that they only buy from certain shops which gives them kickbacks. Even they sometimes charge from brands to buy certain brand marketing products only and highlight brands in pictures.
The world of charity is a very complex thing and I follow my heart when taking decisions with open mind also. I am proud to be a major part of your campaign. May your wishes come true!
Yes, I understand what you mean. That is why I always prefer to do it physically instead of giving it to any organisation. Not only because of their unethical behaviour, but also, these organisations might have various extra costs which I can minimize it by doing ownself.
Thank you for overall assistance to accomplish the initiative.
May this great be accepted, you have well organized the whole charity stuff and its really great to become part of this contribution. Little deeds matter a lot when they are being done with the right intention and a good heart ❤️ looking forward to more of such charitable stuff.
You are doing great brotherly! More blessings to you...
I am glad to know that this project was a success. Providing food support for 20 poor family is indeed a great achievement; putting smiles on their faces.
Well done @mahirabdullah
You have done a remarkable thing, man. You have saved some people from the pain of suffering. That way too, you have inspired people to do the same, especially the younger ones.
Keep being amazing. May God continue to bless you.
