Aya*, just 5, was struggling with understanding school topics that seemed easy to her classmates and friends. When her parents put her in a special needs school, she loved the special attention, but found it difficult to make new friends.
"Kids seemed nice, but I was scared," shares Aya, "I didn't want to say Hi first. What if they didn't like me?" It was overwhelming enough moving to a new school and Aya was fearful if she didn't do well here, her parents would move her again.
When we gave her a little teddy bear, she squeeled. Yes, she squeeled. Here was someone for her to love. For her to spoil. For her to take to school with her. Maybe, teddy could say Hello on her behalf and make friends.
Thank you to a wonderful donors for helping us make Aya smile, and other deserving special needs children like her.
We are making our next gift day December 25th, 2015, the birthday of Quaid-e-Azam and Christmas Day.
