FREE Call from VODAFONE
Well, it's not a Free call from VODAFONE it's self but from me.
I have a Vodafone SIM Card which has a credit of QR. 1,000/-.
Since Ramadan and Eid is approaching fast I thought to give this SIM Card along with mobile set to someone who is very poor and cannot to afford to make a call to his love ones back Home.
I prefer to give to those labourers/ needy people who lost their jobs or has not received salaries from their Employers for long time.
If anyone of you know such people (Group of people) I would love to go to them and give this SIM card with a Mobile phone to one of the responsible person in the Group who will give each person say 10 mins (depends on the number of people) to make a call to their Families.
Once again I will give this SIM Card to those who had NO SOURCE OF INCOME.
speed...i know a group of workers who are not receiving their salaries for almost five months now, without overtime pay...nepalis, bengalis, filipinos,sri lankis....they are working in industrial area for a reputed company, but still they are deprived of everything, including proper health care and medical attention...i hope you can give the sim to them, for them to have this great chance of making a free call to their families back home....please pm me..
Allah bless you brother!
Keep it up! u have posted a very nice ad.
Thanks
FACE YOUR FEARS LIVE YOUR DREAMS
Proud To Be Paki :D
number thru PM.
If you haven't given it to anyone yet I'm sure that the random worksite selected this month will appreciate it....

rMs..!!
upset some of our members which I will never like!
So just delete it...
I am sorry to all those who got offended by my action.
And Thanks to all who provided me the info. about the poor/ needy people in Doha.
I think my English is very poor or I am not able to explain what I am looking for?
Let me remind you one thing... There are different kind of charities... One kind of charity is totally from your personal pocket for which I fully agree that God does not like those people who give the charity and announce in public.
Second thing, in this case, this Qr. 1000 is not from my pocket.. it was given to me in a promotion by Vodafona.
And the mobile set i am just giving to make a call. So once the credit is used I will take back my mobile as sim card.
Coming to the point why I posted on QL to the public is only one reason that I tried myself to find some needy people but couldn't and since this promotion will end by 30 Sept. the money is the card will be lost?
So tell me should I just waste this money if I don't find anyone by myself of it is better to ask people if they know some people who are in need?
I got very good response from QL Community members and tomorrow I will be visiting those places.
This does not means that I am denying what you said is wrong.. I do agree with you but again whatever charity i do from my income remains between me and my Allah.
As stated in Quran:
"Believers! Do not nullify your acts of charity by stressing your benevolence and causing hurt as does he who spends his wealth only to be seen by men and does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. The example of his spending is that of a rock with a thin coating of earth upon it: when a heavy rain smites it, the earth is washed away, leaving the rock bare; such people derive no gain from their acts of charity. Allah does not set the deniers of the Truth on the right way. (2:262 - 264)"
I really dont think you know whom you're speaking to...but I'm sure I know one thing that you're speaking CRAP!
You're talking to a person who runs the Qatar Living Volunteer Group who go out on a highly regular basis and help out the needy with various campaigns ranging from Beach Cleanup, Blood Donations, Beat the Heat etc...so I'm sure he knows what to do...I guess he came here cos Qatar Living reaches out to a lot many households, and lot many companies personnel...so anyone...out there who sees a person in need to get on the phones but cant afford one is just what he asked...so it is only fair to bring forward a person or step away from this...
Windup yourself mate...cos there aint any merchants here...!
Other than that, hope you have a great day...!
I don't think Speed was trying to show the world that he was pious and gives things to people. He's been a QL member for a long time and has proven with his deeds that he indeed does what he speaks.
His intention with this thread was to try and find the needy people, who would really appreciate the gesture. From what Is see, he has already got a lot of responses and he said he would PERSONALLY go and see before doing something about it.
Which part of his original query did you think was a show-off? It obviously means you don't know him as a person. It was then sad that you accused him of being an attention-seeker. I personally feel that a collective effort (be it finding the needy or making plans to help them) is always better than an individual effort.
And I'm sure Speed has been doing much charity on his own without him necessarily speaking in public about it. Try to see the good in people at least some of the time, my brother.
Just my thought.
-
This proved that sadly charity is done predominantly for the benefit of the giver.
You don't need to advertise your good deeds here, go out onto the street and just do what you want with your phone. Better yet, donate monthly to good causes that give direct benefit to those that need it most (and not necessarily limited to Qatar).
Blooody Hell !! :(
m gonna teach those morons a lesson.
and Sonaam ....
See your friends are ditching you :-(
Speed...
ur Sim is of no use to me until it doesnt have Credit in it....:)
Please give me ur mob n sim m dying to call Bella. Long time i havent given her a good bye kiss through mobile...:(
I wont talk much, only 45mins.
of such needy people.
I will go on Friday and Saturday to those locations myself to find out the situation.
Thank you for you help.
and you want the sim with the mobile :-D
By the way once the credit is used i will take my SIM back coz that is the special vodafone number and it is on my name.
Only the purpose is to make a call and utilize the amount.
Speed...
so kind of you, May God bless you for your kindness.
I hope some poor people will be here in QL reading your post.
All The Best For your Kindness on Labours!

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

EMAIL ME TO THIS ID [email protected] in my camp there are many workers
Andee...seriously...trust me...if you have a few good supportive words or any source of information...then try using your energy for that...otherwise...dont bother blabbering in a place where you normally are supposed to keep your lips zipped little boy...so take that tail between your legs and get it moving boy...!
Speed paaji...noble thought, no idea where and who...but do you have any deportation center for Pakistanis, I know we have one for Indians...where you have all stranded people, WAITING to go back home and they certainly would do good with a few free mins to their families who are thousands of miles away and they dont have any income...guess the max they get is Food & Water & shelter before they're sent back home!
So do you have anything like that for the Paki boys...?
FACE YOUR FEARS LIVE YOUR DREAMS
Well there re poor people working at night cleaning streets:s.i usually give themsome moeny when i have :)
Noteting Speed's Point that jobless for months:s,Well im jobless for 4 yrs now :@:@:@
Damn :s
By the way what do u do Speed work where?:)
You have a golden heart Speed. God bless you and be with you and your team.
from Qlers :-)
But honestly I want to find those group of people who have been abandoned by their employers or no salaries for past several months..
Because last time when I dealt with such kind of people I know what kind of suffering they go thru....
Ashwin and shreeya and Xray are witness because I took them to those labourers who were abandoned by their Employers and they were not paid for several months.
Let us find such people then we will talk about it further.
God bless you :-)
That's a brilliant thought. You've got a heart of gold and head full of fertile ideas. LOL.
Could we take this one notch higher? I'm willing to buy some phone cards and give it to the needy. problem is, I've no idea who the needy are. If there were some other people willing to make similar contributions, cannot we pool in our resources together?
Just a thought. God bless you, my friend. You're a true believer indeed.
Good Job as alawys from SPEED.

Aww SPEED that is such a good idea. I do that with the house maids that we have and don't own a mobile phone (because they don't want it).
Good for you !!
Great Job Speed Bhai ,

Mandi
find any person and the time is running out I thought to seek QL help.
Allah knows the best.
READ!
"and tell one or two people that you want to give SIM card to someone poor.... everyone comes and claims to be poor.
I can do that but to be honest I might give it to a wrong person.
I am trying myself to find some but since QL is a whole big Community from every corner of Qatar, I might get good and easy help :-)"
And its not for your extra brownie points !!

Andee why would you knock a guy trying to do something decent? It is not like everyone knows who speed is and will pat him on the back everytime he walks down the street.
Finding such people isnt easy.

There is no need to advertise what you plan to do.... if you wanna do something good - just do it and be quiet...the whole world does not need to know that you plan to do a good deed.... you wont get extra brownie points....
If I hear anything speed I will let you know. You can try the Nepali embassy, they have a great outreach program there.

good work.
I prefer to give to those who has no source of income/ jobless for several months/ or not received salaries from their employers.
I am sure there are still such cases exist here but not able to find any....
If you can count how many times my 'Beep Beep' is moving his legs in 1 sec... I will give you this SIM :-) LOL (j/k)
Well, nothing to be hero, I have another number with the same amount and since the validity of this amount will expire by end of Sept. 2009. I think it would be just a waste of money, why not utilize in a way that others can benefit from it.
superhero........
Those people who were abandoned by their Employers has left the Country...
So I have not update of such people in the market.
Unless it comes from Media or people like you :-D
Its Alexa, NOT QS ! :-)
GOOD JOB speed !!

QS, that's why he said "If anyone of you know such people (Group of people) I would love to go to them and give this SIM card "
I know a camp in Kharatiyat, poor guys. They sleep in the building they are buidling, there is about 12-14 of them. They are pretty poor, I send them food when I can and once gave them each phone cards of QR 30, some of them cried.
