researching what?
I don't know if you guys remember him, he was posting here in TOT and in the keystyle section a lot last year, and then he stopped. Well he lives in Kansas City (my city) and he just left last week for Haiti.Him and some other brothers at the local masjid set up a Haitian relief project. Officially he stated that he was going there for research, with the hopes that his research and video footage could then be used to raise money within the Islamic community of KC for charity in Haiti. However, since he also just completed Medical School I'm sure he will be offering his services as a doctor while staying there.So anyway, I saw his Dad at the masjid this morning after fajr, and his Dad said his first week went well, and that he is extending his stay for another week. He is living in a tent outside a masjid in Haiti. Apparantly there is a small percentage of Muslims in Haiti, so many Islamic organizations from all over the world have set up shop at a masjid (Islamic Center) in Haiti and built tents surrounding it to service the area.I'm going to have him post in this thread when he gets back, it might be interesting for you all to hear from a member of the forum who is experiencing it all first hand.

sak paseLong time peoples, but the struggle continues... I have to say that the people of Haiti are resilient, kind and compassionate. I don't know of kinder people then them on this side of the globe. Most of all they are a people who have pride and courage... As you know the first nation to gain freedom from the white yoke. 30% of the initial enslaved Africans where Muslims, many of them literate... If u dont know learn about Timbuktu... So many young Haitians have embraced Islam and many more are entering... I hope an pray for their good health and steadfastness...And finally I urge you to not forget them as they are still in need.
