Consider Charity Helping Yourself.

Trudging through my old paperwork and stuff...I come across some notes I wrote down on Charity. I dont recall  the name of the course shamefully, (okay actually I do...it was an AlKauthar course in Fairfield halls:) but I am glad I stumbled across the notes, because reflecting on them was a great reminder.
