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.
The bank account no: 1 -03057-0005364-7 RHB Bank, Pasir Mas, Kelantan.
We know many of you out there would like to donate but not by buying paintings as you may not like paintings or the amount involved to buy one of those that we put on sale maybe beyond you. So with this account you can just contribute any amount however small. Should you contribute and want us to acknowledge receipt, please email us with details of your transfer number. We could also publish your name in here as a token of our appreciation for your contribution.
The following is a summary of the monies received and how it was spent so far. This figure is true as of yesterday evening.
