Lii	Unrecorded Date Good for her. I hope she spends it wisely....
Ahmad, un-wise at the moment!	Unrecorded Date Asalama Alaykum! ...what is the catch? With Britain(even charities) there is always a catch! Peace, Ahmad!
Mr Wise	Unrecorded Date 1.8 billion somali shillings has to accounted for since it was taken in the name of somalis. What I am interested in knowing is to see the end result of the money going to the right place as intended (i.e helping the victims of poverty in somalia). To lii I am not surprised by your comment as it is many Somali's mentality that any money that is gotten through a charity can be spent on yourself. On the contrary in the United Kingdom it is illigal to spend any money intended for charity on oneself.
Farid	Unrecorded Date Let us congratuate the organization "Dadihiye and its leadership. I am sure they will do as good a job as any nongovernmental organization in somalia that are run by foreigners. Welldone!!!!
Anonymous	Unrecorded Date First I extend my congratulations to the people who have been granted the fund. Second..we should remember that Everyone will be accountable for his deeds and intentions in the day of judgement. I hope some of our poor people are helped with that money.
