ACTNews, TASIKMLAYA - Global Zakat - ACT Tasikmalaya continues to provide
financial assistance to MDTA Miftahul Ulum in Rancakuya, Sukamantri Village,
Ciawi District, Tasikmalaya Regency through the Sahabat Guru Indonesia (Friends
of Indonesian Teachers). This time, the financial assistance was given to
Sihabul Milah (45), a mother who has dedicated herself as a teacher at a local
elementary school. She has also been teaching Quran for kindergarteners to high
school students for 21 years without being paid.
Her sincerity
and relentless faith has kept her spirit high despite receiving no salary.
Milah has to support six of her school-age children alone after her husband
passed away six years ago. To make ends meet, she depends on donations from her
students’ parents and guardians. Hence, she has no a certain source of income.
"I am fully
confident that when we are doing good, Allah will open doors of sustenance for
each of His servants. Alhamdulillah, although I have dependants, my sustenance
will always come. For 21 years, I have been reaching because of my love for
children and the field of education,” she said, Monday (8/17).
For her
extraordinary dedication, Global Zakat - ACT Tasikmalaya gave her financial
assistance as a form of appreciation through the Sahabat Guru Indonesia
program. Milah was very grateful for the assistance given to her.
"Incidentally,
this afternoon, I was thinking that I need money for my children’s tuitions. I
am sure Allah will provide sustenance, and now you’re here giving me help through
this program. May Allah repay ACT and the donors who have been kind to help,” said
Milah, holding her tears.
At the moment of
the 75th anniversary of Indonesia's Independence, M. Fauzi Ridwan of
Global Zakat – ACT Tasikmalaya invited the community to care about teachers who
are living in poverty.
"Because from
these teachers’ dedication, future great leaders of the country will emerge. We
hope this kindness can continue, and we are inviting generous people to
continue supporting economically underprivileged teachers through the Sahabat
Guru Indonesia program. You can support us by donating directly to BNI Syariah
account number 99 0000 568 in the name of Global Zakat Foundation. May Allah
make it easy for everyone to do good, "said Fauzi. []
