Eid is not only a time that is filled with much celebration and activity, but also a time we most deeply feel the significance of family in our lives. Although we believe that God’s call to care for widows and orphans is something that should be woven into our everyday lives, Eid is a time when we are especially aware of the importance of family and that’s why we invited you all to take time during your holiday celebrations to remember those who continue to wait for the gift of love and care and we are so grateful for your support.
This Eid, we wanted to make these tiny tots a part of our celebration. We wanted them to feel special, the way other kids do who are more blessed to have families and that’s why we planned a special Eid Celebration and gave out gifts to orphans. An orphanage is a place where happiness is not seen a lot of time. The children are emotionally insecure and always look for solace through someone or something.
So we took the orphans with special permission for pizza and snow cones. It was so much fun for them, and a true celebration of joy and togetherness, just as Eid is supposed to be. It is also a break from everyday life at the orphanage.
Thank you for your support.
