Orphan Scholarship Project
Are You An Orphan Advocate?
Imagine being close to the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam in Jannah!
Among the greatest gifts we can give an orphan is a quality education.
Last year, $81,704 in full scholarships was awarded to 13 orphans.
YOU made this possible.
Through supporting the Orphan Tuition Scholarship Program, you are equipping our orphans with both the academic and Islamic education they need to be successful in this life and the Hereafter.
Now, more than ever before, we need your help!
Can you further your support by becoming an Orphan Education Advocate?
As an Orphan Education Advocate, you will encourage your family and friends to support the Orphan Tuition Scholarship Program with a one-time or on-going charitable contribution.
The Donor Care Office will facilitate the entire process by setting up your personal (or team) fundraising page that will be shared with family, friends, and social networks.
You can also create your own fundraising page by visiting the campaign’s main page here.

FEMA Seeks Applicants for Youth Preparedness Council
FEMA Seeks Applicants for Youth Preparedness Council
Washington – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is seeking nominations for participants in the Agency’s Youth Preparedness Council (YPC).
The Youth Preparedness Council provides an opportunity for young leaders to serve as a member of a distinguished national council; to complete a youth preparedness project of their choosing; to learn about youth disaster preparedness from the leadership at FEMA and other national organizations dedicated to youth preparedness; to voice their opinions, experiences, and share innovative ideas and solutions; and to participate in the Youth Preparedness Council Summit where the council meets with emergency management leadership to discuss steps to strengthen the nation’s resiliency against all types of disasters.
Participants are expected to represent the youth perspective on emergency preparedness and relay information within their communities. Each council member is expected to develop and complete one preparedness-related project specific to his/her region and interests. In addition to attending the Summit in the summer of 2013, council members will potentially participate in national, regional, state, tribal and local preparedness meetings and present their work. It is expected that members will meet with FEMA on a regular basis via conference call to provide ongoing input on strategies, initiatives and projects throughout the duration of their term.
Anyone between the ages of 12 and 17, who is engaged in individual and community preparedness, is encouraged to apply or be nominated to serve on the Youth Preparedness Council. An individual may apply on his/her own behalf, or can be nominated by an adult familiar with his/her youth preparedness activities. Individuals interested in applying must submit a completed application form, a narrative, and a letter of recommendation. The letter of recommendation can be from any adult, including a parent, guardian, community first responder, or teacher. Applications that do not include a letter of recommendation will not be reviewed. Individuals interested in nominating a young leader to the council should complete the application form and narrative, but a letter of recommendation is not mandatory. Specific information about completing and submitting the application and attachments can be found on the application.
All applications and supporting materials must be received no later than 11:59 E.D.T. on April 19, 2013 in order to be eligible.
Council members will be selected based on vacancies and announced in May 2013. Once selected, members serve on the Council for one year, with the option to extend for an additional year, based on a formal request by FEMA.
For more information about the Youth Preparedness Council and FEMA’s work on youth preparedness, and to access the application materials, please visit www.ready.gov/youth-
If you have any further questions, please contact Citizen Corps at (202) 786-9550 or CitizenCorps@dhs.gov .
FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

For more information visit www.gaithersburgmd.gov/bankon.
This year, to ensure that all of the taxpayer’s needs are being met, volunteers will offer referral information to food, clothing and housing assistance. Hunger Solutions staff will also be on hand to help qualified people sign up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
