Dear all Alhassan Foundation’s friends, believers & supporters,
We are proud to tell you that we are effectively changing minds and facing stereotypes. Changing preconceived ideas & inherited beliefs that are acquired through generations is the most challenging in any society. Social awareness is crucial in our societies to fight prejudges and stereotype. Not only that, but also we are keenly working on resisting discrimination against people with physical challenges, and promote diversity.
During the past few months your contribution helped us to organize several gatherings and events to help wheelchair users meet with each other in several social gatherings. These social gathering included introducing all of our projects to the newly joiners to choose from them what suit their case, needs, and skills, and we got to decide upon their eligibility. Also, we are planning to organize support groups among wheelchair users so they can pass on their knowledge & experiences and learn from each other.
We at Alhassan Foundation empower humans with physical challenges to lead a dignified life of vitality & productivity that inspires all the Egyptians & Arabs. Last October we had one of our successful social gatherings to welcome new members from wheelchair users. They got a chance to meet old members and talk about their challenges as well as successes. As a matter of fact, the lady who organized this event used to be an introvert girl. After her spinal cord injury, she felt insecure and she was afraid of getting out of her home or meeting people. Yet after she joined Alhassan Foundation she became self-confident, and built lots of friendships with her peers. She volunteered to be the main organizer of our latest event in Ismailia, Egypt. She was a real success!
We would like to thank each and every one of you for your support. We urge you to continue supporting our cause and stay loyal donors to our cause through subscribing to a monthly recurring donation option. That will help wheelchair users in Egypt be more confident and accomplished. Please visit our Facebook page to read other success stories:
