Every Monday to Saturday, our Jama Masjid Day Care Centre is open for street children to have a safe, warm, residence for the day. In the 6 months since this Day Care Centre opened, we have had more and more children joining and regularly attending the programs. On a slow day we'll have about 20 children come, on a busy day, up to 50 children of all ages fill our small Centre.
These children have become close to our hearts. We have learned their stories and heard their struggles and triumphs. We have seen them change habits, partake in chores, dance along with movies, and get excited about learning to read and write.
As winter set in, we became worried about the well being of these 50 children, having to sleep on the street through the cold nights. With this in mind, we sent out a request for donations to buy blankets and have received an overwhelming response! In just 2 short days, we have received enough money to buy 100 blankets to distribute as needed!
In the next day we will buy and deliver the blankets, enough for the children and possibly for any family members as well.
Thank you to all who supported us financially and in kind. Our rejoices continue thanks to your endless support and encouragement!
