Dear HOPE Friends,
Ramadan in Azad Kashmir - 500 Home School Children Participate in Sit-Down Iftar and Eid Clothes Distribution - Featuring AJK Government Officials
Last week, 500 disadvantaged students from HOPE's Thotha Parhor and Dhani Bakala Home Schools in AJK convened to participate in a community iftar event presided by AJK government officials and the HOPE Field team.
Throughout the year and in Ramadan, the HOPE Team strives to initiate community events to foster emotional development and generate fond memories amongst children living in dire conditions. After enjoying a meal together, the children are presented with new Eid Clothes by which they can feel special and included for the upcoming holiday.
HOPE's AJK Maternal and Child Healthcare Coordinator, Ms. Sanjeeda, along with HOPE's AJK Home School Coordinator, Ms. Naila, worked diligently to execute a Sit-down Iftar and Eid Clothes distribution for 500 Home School children. Among our special guests in attendance were Dr. Tahir Moghal (Deputy Health Officer of District Jhelum) along with Divisional Director of Education, Mr. Jalil Jalali.
Divisional Director of Education, Mr. Jalil Jalali, appreciated the efforts of HOPE and said, "HOPE's work in the education and health spheres is truly commendable and worthy of emulation."
Deputy Health Officer, Dr. Tahir Rahim Mughal, also recognized the role of HOPE in promoting public health and considered HOPE's impact in the region significant.
We are extremely grateful to Ms. Sanjeeda and Ms. Naila, along with Dr. Tahir Moghal and Mr. Jalil Jalali, for their relentless dedication and efforts to promote poverty alleviation efforts throughout the rough terrain of AJK. They have all gone above and beyond the call of duty to create change and transform lives. We also wanted to thank Journalist Syed Yousaf Hamdani and Mubarak Hussain Awwan as well as UrduPaper for capturing these special moments for us.
All the best to our dedicated supporters as the last few days of Ramadan grace us!
Warm regards,
The HOPE USA Team
