Five minutes of fame.

My post describing Ramadan and Eid in Singapore, originally written for Al-Nisa monthly has been kindly cross-posted over at the cool people at Muslimah Media Watch. 

You can read it here. Be sure to also check out the other posts on Ramadan by writers from different countries here!

We're halfway through Ramadan. I hope everyone is finding their own spiritual way in this month!

Received a recycled, handmade envelope?

If you're here, you probably bought or received a handmade, recycled envelope or book.

100% of the money from these labelled envelopes went to supporting the children of the town of Nabi Saleh in West Bank, Palestine.

With this money, the children of Nabi Saleh received cameras as part of an art therapy project to help them overcome the trauma that they experience everyday. The funds are transferred directly to the leader of the project, Ms. Manal Tamimi.

For updates on what is happening in Nabi Saleh, go here. If you wish to donate or get more information, email me at nurulsyahirah[a]gmail.com.

Thank you for your support and may God bless you.
