Reflections on Refugee Relief
28-year-old Abdullah Malik is no stranger to fundraising. As well as joining Muslim Hands for the Great Wall of China challenge to raise money for mothers in Afghanistan last year, he was also in Gambia helping orphans and needy children in December.
On February 12th Malik made the journey to the Salzburg refugee camp to help MH teams serving daily meals to families there. We caught up with him to learn more about his experience.
On average 2,000 people pass through this camp daily. On the day I was there only 1,000 did. However, that number was significant enough to make an impact. The camp set up is better than I thought it would be - there is the opportunity for the refugees to get clothes, food and rest. But still, it was not a nice place to be.
I would like to, with all my heart and everything I have, thank all those that donated to this cause - it really does make a difference to the lives of the thousands of refugees that pass through this camp daily'.
Join Muslim Hands for the next trip in March
