Due to Dr. Parvez Alam's and Fighting for Lives refusal to provide information on those recieving the charity raised by SSBD and also refusing to provide financial transcripts/bank transfers of donation recipients as proof that the money raised is given to those in need, Maul Mornie and SSBD is now not associated with Dr.Parvez Alam and Fighting For Lives since 14th/15th November 2009.

I, Maul Mornie assumed that Fighting For Lives was a "registered" non-charity organization when Dr. Parvez Alam approached me with his proposal for a martial arts charity event. I have broken away fear of legal reasons, as Fighting for Lives has been operation for 5 years collecting money but is not a legally registered Charity organization.

Below are the orginal review from the FFL charity seminar SSBD is involved in as proof that SSBD and Maul Mornie only collaborated with Fighitng For Lives through good intentions to help children in need.

Below are the price for those attending the SSBD charity seminar per person.


Pay On the Day: €45 one day, €60 for 2 days.


16 people attended the seminar, not including the host and the instructor.


50% of the proceeds from the Fighting For Lives event donated the proceeds to the relevent charity organizations to help the less fortunate children.


Assuming all 16 participants paid in full and minus 50% agreed arrangements the total money raised should be €480.

 

TOTAL MONEY RAISED BY SSBD

Maul Mornie and SSBD has been involved with Fighitng for lives in 3 occassions, 16th November 2008 (raised €650), 13th/14th June 2009 (raised €480) and 14th/15th November 2009 (raised €855); the 3 events SSBD is involved in raising donations for Fighting for Lives equals to €1985 in total.

Another successful Silat Suffian Bela Diri Event.

The seminar is organized by Dr. Parvez Alam of the Fighting For Lives - Charity Organization. It was held on the weekend of 13th and 14th June 2009 at Shaolin Dojo, Nahkurinkatu 4, 20100 Turku.

Silat Suffian Bela Diri, in cooperation with Fighting For Lives donated the proceeds to the relevent charity organizations to help the less fortunate children. Dr. Parvez Alam, his family and friends in Finland has dedicated part of thier lives to working for charity by combining thier passion for martial arts and other health and fitness related activities to attract donations. The efforts in doing so has attracted interest from martial artist and other charity organizations from around the world. It is part of our responsibility as martial artist to support organizations and help those in need in every part of the world. What is the worth of learning any martial arts or any self defence system, if you cant use it to help the less fortunate all you need is effort, not fists.

You dont have to be a martial artist - If you are interested in making donations please email Dr. Parves Alam directly at contact@fightingforlives.com
