To Have Someone To Love
By Rafea Khatak | Project Volunteer
In each of these reports, we've emphasized how much orphans need someone or something to call their own and love. Actually, everyone does. Science has shown that hugs and cuddles can help with stress, and one doesn't have to pop pills if overwhelmed.
The teddy bear gift represents not just something of their own, but something they can shower unconditional, unjudged love over. There is so much said about giving food and shelter, which our foundation does as well, but giving a child something to cuddle, something all his or her own, tugs the heart chords in ways I cannot begin to describe and helps so much combat loneliness and mental health issues.
Thank you for your generosity and support! Please do continue to give and spread the word.

Rural Sindh
By Tara Dawood | Project Leader
As each child gets a teddy bear, the first cuddle is the most meaningful. Unless another human, the teddy cannot ever reject or deny the child. As the child hesistantly draws the bear close, a special magic happens. So often orphans suppress their need to express love because there isn't someone of their own to love. A teddy is something of their own to love. For the first time.
All thanks to you.
"I love Babu," says eight year old Aaniya (name changed). "I love him. He's mine!"
Whether the love is as much for Babu or that fact that he completely and forever belongs to Aaniya, the reality is she can and does love him with all her heart and showers him with that love.
We are going to rural Sindh this month - Sanghir and Badin - and giving orphans teddies. Please donate more and spread the word. Thank you!

Omnicron
By Tara Dawood | Project Leader
The headlines around the world focus on the new COVID19 variant Omnicron and how viral it is. Safety precaution tips, talks of lockdowns, stricter rules, postponement of the Grammy awards, etc. What is not talked about is how the orphans too are struggling. While it's sad several in person celebrations are being cancelled or postponed, the life of the unseen is not just unheard but more isolated and depressed than ever.
Your act of kindness in giving these teddy bears mean more than any one of us could have realized at the start of this project. Teddies are good for cuddling and love, and that's needed more than ever during this seemingly never ending pandemic. For a child with parents, there is so much confusion and fear. For a child without parents, there is even greater need for live, security and cuddles than ever before.
This is such a simple act of kindness. Gifting one teddy bear to one orphan. However, the joy it brings to that parentless child cannot be expressed in mere words. God bless you. Please continue to donate and spread the word. These are the times when empathy, compassion and acts of kindness are what really matter.
