Welcome to the program

I'm so sorry about all the technical glitch. Maybe it was my excitement

We want to speak to someone went for hugs this year. Mashallah. How are you sister?

Good Alhamdulillah. A bit tired. How are you?

I mean women women go made more barracks everyone.

I mean Baraka Lafayla. Tell us my sister. How did you apply for this?

So we were waiting for the hard registration to open and so when it finally did I registered it opened on 6th of July.

I was accepted a week later and that Alhamdulillah the process was ongoing from then we were sent our logages to our home.

We went to get our health check up and we got our wristbands that are connected to an app that we install in our phone and that tracks your location to make sure that you are appearing to the isolation prior to traveling for hugs.

So the moment we left our isolation was the moment we started our hugs travel and then we even had another quarantine in Mecca before we started our hugs rituals.

So when you found out you were accepted. I mean was it by email or they phoned you?

They sent a message for everything. For every notification, for every news, for every development.

They just sent you a message to your phone and so that you can answer as quickly as possible and you can keep up with all the news and all the requirements as soon as possible.

So did you believe it that look I'm accepted to go for a hug? Did you actually were you because obviously you're one out of millions of people who wanted to do the hug. So how was that excitement?

SubhanAllah the excitement.

I just kept thinking something will go wrong in this whole process and I'm surely not gonna this is just you know hope but it won't actually happen.

Because the message that you get after you are accepted is that you are accepted as a candidate for a hug. You don't directly get your hugs permits directly.

You are supposed to apply for a hug permit afterwards and then receive your hugs permits.

So I was worried I was sleepless I was hoping everything every step will go fine so that I can finally I was I was just fearing that I would not actually get to go that my test I would be positive for Corona or something something might come up until I actually was standing there in front of the car bar first roll in front of the car bar
