Salam and hello to everyone,

The Crestar and the Knight Stallion team wanted to give you an update on our progress translating the graphic novels.

Book 1 has been translated into Arabic and we are beginning the process for book 2. It has taken a bit longer than anticipated as there are a lot of complexities in making an authentic Arabic version that reflects the quality and intent of the original English. 
 

We wanted to give special credit to Melissa  Krawczyk who has been spearheading the translation team. Their passion and dedication has exceeded our expectations.

Our hope is to be completed with book 2 within the next two months so we can begin printing and distribution for the kids in Gaza.

If there are any of you who have still not received your copies of the English graphic novels, please reply to this email with your name and address so we can ensure you get your copies.

Thank you for your patience and support,

Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad and Abdallah Jasim

My friends,


Crestar and the Knight Stallion have fought all evils and conquered all obstacles in their path…so they can make it to your homes in time to celebrate this weekend.


All we ask is that you share your comments on social media and let us know how you and your kids like the graphic novels. Tell all your friends to head over to LaunchGood.com/hero and grab their copies as well! With your help we’ll already donate over 3000 books to kids in Gaza. Let’s make it 10,000!


Please hashtag #crestarandtheknightstallion   Abdallah @abidjay   and myself @ajmalzaheerahmad   and let us know if you want to see what happens next!


A very sincere thank you,


Ajmal Z Ahmad

Hello everyone!

Your books are currently being produced at one of the best comic/graphic novel printing  facilities in the world. If all goes well, they will be complete by May 30th. With a little luck, we may be able to get them out to you before Eid!

Both graphic novels are being printed in full glossy color at the highest quality…they’ll make great gifts!

We’ll update you when we receive the books and can’t wait for you to get them in hand.

Salam and thank you everyone!

We are happy to announce that our graphic novels will be going to print within the week. It will take about three weeks to get them completed and then shipped to our warehouse. We hope to get them shipped to you sometime in June.

The Arabic translation process is beginning for the copies destined for the kids in Gaza. We will keep you updated on the progress as we reach the printing stage.

We’re very excited for you and your families to receive these books and can’t wait to hear your reactions!

Thank you again,

Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad

Salam everyone,

With your support we have now reached $50,000 in donations Mashallah! And as a big thank you, we have posted our first video of the kids in Gaza receiving advance copies of the comic books. These are versions in English as we will be printing the Arabic versions in late spring...but the kids still had smiles on their faces and wanted more. Please click the main image on the campaign page to see the video.

Inshallah we will be printing and shipping out your copies of the graphic novels by the end of May and have now donated over 2000 books and 7000 hot meals!

Please share the campaign with your family and friends and donate again so we can continue to bring joy to these kids!

Salam and Ramadan Kareem to all of our amazing donors. We have an unbelievable update to share, and we want you to hear it before anyone else does.

Our first shipment of books to the children of Gaza has arrived, Alhamdulilah!

Yes, we know that there have been very few if any success stories of things getting inside of Gaza, but thanks to the hard work of our partners "Heal Palestine", kids have already started to receive early copies of Crestar and the Knight Stallion.

This is a small miracle for Eid...and we ask you to please amplify this campaign anyway you can. Share it on text, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook. Tell all your friends and relatives. The more you spread the word, the more hot meals and books we can donate over the coming months. We're only 10K away from our goal and we've already donated 2000 meals and 2000 books. We hope to surpass our goal with your help.

Here are a few shots of the children with their books. We will be posting videos of the kids on social media very soon. Please follow @abidjay to see the latest videos.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
