Eighteenth of 40 donations

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

The eighteenth of my 40 donations goes to Bahrain Rescues who rescue, treat and rehome animals that need help in Bahrain.

You can see more of their activities via the following link:

Due to an exchange rate error I missed £1.19 off my seventeenth donation so I have added it to this eighteenth donation, making the total (£40 + £1.19) £41.19. At today’s spot rate on XE.com that equates to 21.236 Bahraini Dinars.

Bahrain has a electronic cash-replacement payment system in place called Benefitpay that seems to work almost everywhere and in any situation!

Thanks to God I have a great friend who made this transaction possible and very memorable. Shukran Habibi.

Seventeenth of 40 donations

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

The seventeenth of my 40 donations goes to The Tree of Life Social Charity Society in Bahrain.

The Tree of Life Social Charity Society was founded in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 2012 and offers its services to all segments of the Bahraini community with no discrimination to race, religion, colour, gender or social class.

Their services focus on social welfare, support for orphans, aid for deprived families and health care.

Bahrain and the Bahrainis have always been very good to me and this is a small token of my appreciation for their gracious hospitality.

Now I have to hold my hand up and admit that I assumed the exchange rate before I actually checked the spot rate online and I’m afraid I was one pound and nineteen pence short of £40 so I will make this up in a future donation – oops, sorry!

Special thanks to my expert translator 😉
