OUR NEW BANK ACCOUNT

With the first shot in the arm through the sale of the first painting to Puteri Kamaliah the fund has received RM600 as the maiden contribution. The painting sold was entitled Buah Seto Tok Ma (Grandma's Mangoesteen) which was a gift from Cikgu Mazeri Othman @ Deen. From this sale we have managed to buy some materials for Cikgu Mazeri to paint new work for sale later to add more money to the fund. Cikgu Mazeri also bought some provisions to such as sugar and a few other items to give to the needy in Kampung Tok Sangkut, Pasir Mas.
From the balance and together with a zakat contribution of RM150.00 we opened up a joint bank accound under the name of Mohamad Zawawi Ahmad/Mazeri Othman to keep the money as well as to receive new donations. With this account we hope for generous donors to contribute any loose change that they have via online transfer. It is that convenient.
