THE HAJWALAH




Our team wants to help chaini who had many problems after the tsunami. She is starting a company to make green bags. We want to import them into ADMC.
Do you know why Frankie has some string around her wrist?
Sri Lanka is a very beautiful island. Frankie has been there four times. The first time she had a fantastic holiday with her children.
The second time was six months after the tsunami. She went to build houses because people were still living in tents. She helped to build temporary houses. She liked hammering nails.
She came back to Abu Dhabi and wanted to raise money to build more houses. She jumped out of an airplane with HCT teachers and students. On her third trip she took enough money to build twenty- seven houses.
Last summer she went to help build permanent houses. The people were very happy to finally get a good house. They had a special ceremony. The holy man put the string on Frankie’s wrist. He said that it would bring luck to the new home.
