Orphanage Food Distribution — February 2018
Posted on 21 February 2018 · Yahya Foundation
As-Salaam-Alaikum — it's Hani here. I wanted to share my experience of providing a month's supply of food rations to two orphanages (Safe Childhood Centre and Orphanage Home) at the beginning of this month. I took my kids with me to play with the other children, and it was a great experience. We also took two boxes of chocolates, and my young sons distributed them — the children really appreciated it.
The ladies who run the Safe Childhood Centre were so happily surprised at the consistency of our support — they have been let down in the past — that they invited my family, my friend Hicham (also a volunteer) and his wife for lunch on site on Friday. We are very grateful and have accepted the invitation. We will be making a variety of desserts to take with us, along with nutritious fruit — apples, bananas and oranges — for the children.
It has been a great month, and by the grace of Allah, inshallah, we will continue to provide consistent support to these wonderful people.
