Few days are left for the festival of Eid, a joyous occasion for kids. A day of dressing up in new clothes, morning prayers, and sweets and coming home to gifts.
Every child deserve that but there are many who are less fortunate and don’t get all this. There are some kids out there who lost their parents and have nothing special for this day as no gift is waiting for them.
But we tried to help some of them, tried to bring a change by exciting them with a special gift.
Omar is 8 years old, a very shy kid who, like every other child deserves every happiness in life but life had other plans for him. He lost his parents and now living in an orphanage and spend his day like other orphans living with him. When we asked him about his Eid, he said there will be nothing special, just like every other day he will play with his friends. And we tried to make his Eid special by giving him a teddy bear as a special Eid gift. He was very happy by that, as he sinks his fingers into the plush fur of a new teddy bear, he made a memory of joy. For that moment, not everything is a bleak.
We were able to do this for omar and some of his friends at orphanage, just because of the kind donation we had from our donors. So, on behalf of omar and all those kids, we would like to thank all our donors.
We can make this moment happen for many other kids like we did for omar and for that we will need your help!!
Together! We can transform lives.
