Salam ya ustaz Gasim,
As promised, please find files attached with information about SUDIA's by-laws, and Board of Directors. As I told you on the telephone a while ago, SUDIA is not a civil-society organization, though it delivers certain cervices that CBOs should deliver. SUDIA is an international NGO.
I take extremen pride in being a staff member (volunteer) with this organization that is amongst the very few with integrity and honesty, and committed staff and Board.
Regarding your inquiry as to why SUDIA does not offer free courses of music or computers, my response is that those courses are not funded through a grant. Informatiuon Technology courses offered by SUDIA have fees as the progect is self-supported, still it doesn't give a return that will make it self-sustainable for long.
As for music classes taught at SUDIA, PLEASE, be informed that SUDIA's Director has so kindly allowed SUDIA to host the music courses, this means without renting the place for the teachers and their students, and by the way, the fees that music learners paid, were paid to the teachers as a means of making some earning as well. I'm copying here my two wonderful music teachers, Asim Eltayeb and Alaa Sanhory so that you rest assured that I'm credible in what I just mentioned.
As for Abbas Abu Alkalek, SUDIA also hosted his class, BUT our condition was that if him and his learners use the aircondition, then we will have to ask him to contribute even in a small amount, in the electricity bill. But to my disappointment, he was so lenient and at SUDIA's expense and his own expense, he did not stop the learners from abusing SUDIA's electricity, and they even ran away without paying him!!!! That was ONE tough lesson to us, so when Abbas approached me again to teach another course, I consulted my Boss, and desided that SUDIA for the FIRST time, will have to take a small percentage as rent and that no course will start unless all learners paid in advance to the teacher. So, Abbas agreed, I even helped him (as we always do with music classes), and announced the course for him. Abbas said the total fee of the course is 80 Egyptian Pounds per learner, so I told him that SUDIA will be paid 20 Egyptian pounds from the 80. You know what happened, learners didn't register!!!! Only very few, and up till now he couldn't gather his students.
Gasim, according to our financial system and regulations, any income received is deposite at bank to later contribute to electricity, rent, etc.
So, the course you took with Asim and paid for, the fee was all for Asim as a teacher, as that time SUDIA just wanted to contribute to both the teacher and the learners to gather together... no rent was requested from Asim or Alaa though SUDIA could have made some income to contribute to the high bills. Instead, and no regret at all, we contributed towards creating an environment through which learners can meet with their teachers, and SUDIA besides giving the place, also modestly, contributed with SUDIA's organ as an extra musical instrument that can help learners in their excersise.
Will be back soon with more info.....
Best of regards to you,
Best of regards to my great music teachers ... Asim and Alaa....
