News from KORT – June 2022

At KORT we like to be Busy first and then Productive, when we are busy, we are doing research, trying to learn all the possibilities, creating long to-do lists, and trying to make things perfect before we start. Once we start to be productive, we are the go-getters of our time making our dreams into reality. We push ourselves to be less busy and more productive every day.

June 2022 has been both busy and productive, here we will share what we have been up to briefly:

Cakes 4 Orphans

Every year just before Ramadan the volunteers for KORT get together and plan the Cakes 4 Orphans campaign. Alhamdulillah every year this project grows and raises the bar for the next year. The team meets once the campaign is over and all funds are collected. This year the volunteers raised a record breaking £167,500. Chairman KORT Ch Mohammed Akhtar joined the volunteers to do the cheque reveal and also share his appreciation with the volunteers.

KORT Qurbani Appeal 2022

Last year your Qurbani provided thousands of needy people with fresh meat across Azad Kashmir to enjoy a good meal during Eid-Ul-Adha.

Once again, we shall be conducting our Qurbani program during Eid-Ul-Adha 2022 where your Qurbani will be carried out according to Shariah Law, and the meat will be distributed personally by our Muskorteers among the poor & needy.
