Eid al-Adha, also known as the Greater Eid or the Festival of Sacrifice, is an important Muslim festival commemorating Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only son Ismael and as few days were left for this Festival, we arranged a surprise visit for the orphaned kids in a nearby school and to give each of them a special gift to include these orphan children in the happiness of Eid and help them forget their deprivations.
We met many kids over there and they were very excited to receive their gifts. We believe that teddy bear is more than just a toy for these kids, it's a security blanket for many children which provides a best friend for them.
Zoya who is a 5 years old orphan and recently started to come to school truly proved our point when her eyes lit up when she first saw the teddy bear. She had never seen anything like it and when we gave her the teddy bear, she just hugged it and said that now she got a friend and she’ll take it everywhere and will play games with it. Not everyone understands that just a single teddy bear could cause such joy!
We were able to cause that joy just because of the generous donations from our donors. So, on behalf of 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 Zoya and for that we will need your help!!
Together! We can transform lives.
