I have done this a month after the Vajghees left Bahrain in 2008. It took me this long to mark it as done. My fault.

How I did it: It took a major decision to leave IHB for me to really spend time and organize my stuff. I never thought I can still do it but it is now accomplished! Read how I did it…
Whoever will take over Room 1, Flat 1 at IHB Jidhafs accommodation will say that I have been a very good tenant. I cleaned the room and made sure the new tenant will only have to move in and start enjoying the comfort of the room.
It is always a heart-warming experience to trace your ancestry especially if you have the chance to actually meet them.
I started working on our family tree even before my father passed away. I know it will be very difficult but I never thought it will be more difficult than that.
However, with perseverance, I know I will achieve my goals one day. I have seen many out there who succeeded in tracing their ancestries under more difficult circumstances. I will draw inspiration from their stories and examples.
