A few Dirhams for a Filipina Lady


Yesterday while eating my lunch in our staff room I have read the story about this Filipina maid. She is working for a Norwegian Family and sad to say that she has a heart problem and needs a operation in order to save her life. But that operation will cost her 150,000AED. She came to Dubai in order to help her family back in the Philippines. But it's good to hear that after all this Economic Crisis when everybody are just minding their properties, savings, and jobs there are still kind-hearted people like Oydis Wikmark who eagerly wanted to save the life of her maid.

Oydis Wikmark happened to be a Mum of one of the Taaleem's school (Where I worked). We believe that Taaleem, together with it's 6 schools around the UAE can help Oydis in raising 150,000AED to save the life of her maid. As they are those "Fortunate Families" we know that we can give a big contribution for this. We knock on the hearts of these people to help, even with a few dirhams. Ask friends and neighbours if they can help too. Remember every dirham helps!
