We give out teddy bears to tots and orphans struggling. We are focusing on a drive for handicapable orphans at Darul Sakoon orphanage, a very special place that looks after the most vulnerable in Karachi.
Two Christmases ago, we shared the story of Cheryl, just 3, who lay dazed in her cot, not knowing what Christmas was although she was a Christian. Handicapable and not fully alert, she relies completely on the nuns and care at this orphanage that looks after 180 Christian, Hindu and Muslim orphans, most of whom are handicapable.
We've created a new mini project in order to distribute teddy bears and meals on Eid day, a religious festival. Last Christmas, we were able to gift all 180 orphans teddy bears, chocolates and hot cross buns. This year, we're beginning with our initial target of 100 orphans for $1000 and have taii I see $215 so far.
We can't wait to see smiles on the faces of orphans.
If you are able to help us complete our drive for these darling kids, please do contribute this holiday. And, of course, spread the word as even a donation of $15 helps us in reaching our goal. One orphan at a time.
There are so many more kids who need year round, we always appreciate your support.
