Assalamu Alaikum Sisters and Brothers:
The Al Nour Youth Group will be formally disbanding and will (Insha Allah) give its funds to Darulislam
Masjid. We would, however, like to continue with some of our activities. We are in need of volunteers for
the following projects:
The third Friday of every month in a downtown Oakland masjid, we have a halal dinner and activities for
underprivileged Muslims. These families are mostly single mothers and/or grandmothers raising children.
The activities include inspirational speeches, group salat, games, crafts and general support. Volunteers
are need to:
Supply food/drinks
Help with the cooking (in your home)
Youth (high school and above) to help in Oakland
Transportation – leave this area around 3:30 and return around 8 or 9pm
Money for supplies and to pay for security at the facility
Speakers and craft/activity leaders
Another project is academic tutoring for underprivileged Muslim children. This should be done in the child’s
home or nearby library. Volunteers are needed for the following:
Math & Science – 12 & 13 year old brothers in San Pablo
Math, Science & English for a 7th grade boy in Pleasant Hill
Algebra 2 & Biology for High School student in Oakland
Trigonometry and chemistry in June in Oakland
Also on either the third or fourth Saturday of each month we need help distributing food to low-income
families. The Rahima Foundation provides the food. It is delivered to one location in Oakland where we pick
it up and deliver it to various families.
Muslims in need of clothing, furniture, temporary shelter, food, money etc sometimes contact us for
emergency help. If you cannot help on a regular basis but might be available in an emergency, please let
us know what you would be willing to do.
If you can help with any of these projects, please contact Fatima El-Gasseir at
925-932-4504
