Thank you all for your special contribution for teddy bears to orphans. Most recently, we gave these out for Eid, the religious holiday in Pakistan. After a month of fasting, the teddies and meal were given out to orphans to provide them with something to celebrate, as well as something to cuddle and love.
Most orphans had fasted the entire month of Ramadan, even younger kids.
During traditional Eid celebrations, children are given new clothes and gifts of toys and sweet treats. However, millions of youngsters across the world have never experienced the joy and excitement of receiving an Eid present and just keeping this in mind we planned “Eid with Orphans” and gave out teddy bears to many kids to make them a part of our celebration and to make them feel special and loved. This is our second year doing this drive, and it is a very fulfilling one and we plan to make it an annual tradition.
We were able to see that happy face of a kid who never had a toy or got a gift in his life and now has his very own teddy bear.
Thank you so much and Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating.
