A Kulyabi journalist helped a disabled man

Head of the regional office of the Iranian Humanitarian Fund “Imdod”, Abdugaffor Solehov provided financial assistance in the amount of $400 to Said Oripov, a person with physical disabilities, resident of Tugarak village, Vose district, so that Oripov would spend this money to fix the roof of his house.

NANSMIT monitoring service established that this noble act had nothing to do with the good will of A. Solekhov. The disabled villager received assistance from Akhmad Ibragimov, a freelance journalist from Kulyab.

Said Oripov is a first group invalid, resident of Tugarak village. He lives in a mud hut together with his wife and a five-year old daughter, who are also disabled. When the roof of his mud house started leaking, Oripov’s neighbor provided the poor family with plastic sheeting; however, the thin film protected them only from chilling wind. Oripov applied to the Imdod Fund, and the officials gave an order to provide the applicant with $400.

Under various excuses, the person could not receive the money until Ahmad Ibragimov, a local journalist working for Khatol Press news agency made this fact public. The journalist was reproached for “washing dirty clothes at home”, “beating the good-doers”, etc.; however, the disabled man eventually received the money and fixed the roof of his house.
