April, 2017 Activity Report: Building Hope, Building Community

“There are many nice people in the world, but if you can’t find one—be one :)”

FEATURE: Ramadan Campaign! Ramadan is a great time to reach out and help the needy. These families

usually only get to eat really well once a year. A wonderful time to celebrate, be with family, enjoy food together, be happy and reflect. Times are actually harder now and more people are struggling just to have food and pay their rents. Please join with us to provide some very nourishing

food to the families this year! We are providing food packages for 30 JDs, which contains 18 items, and weighs about 23 kilos. Plus there will be other extras to go along with the

packages that companies and individuals are donating such as jam, chickens, toys etc. Ramadan Kareem!

Meet Um Mohammed & Ahmed: Ahmed’s parents passed away, leaving him an orphan. His grandma took responsibility for him and

cooked Arabic pastries to put Ahmed through university. He has now just GRADUATED as a LAWYER!—And he is BLIND!

Um Mohammed faced many difficulties: 1.) She is very poor 2.) She had a mild stroke last year--& is 67--But kept on cooking. 3) In one day

both her fridge & freezer broke, but thanks to generous women, she now has both a new fridge & freezer. 4) Her oven being old was losing

heat—another donor paid for a new oven! Congratulations Um Mohammed!—We greatly admire your perseverance!

Ahmed, blind, (right), now a lawyer!

Outside of Amman, the capital, village life is meager—especially for orphan families. We

target struggling moms with large families who may have a handicapped child. The elderly or

handicapped adults are also priority.

Thank you, SNI, for sponsoring this food monthly for 1 year!

Besides providing scholarships for

brilliant students who face financial

challenges, we also provide monthly food

packages for the family, thanks to

Catherine Ashcroft & HRJ! This facilitates

their studies by making sure there is enough

food, enabling them to focus more on their studies & get better

grades.

THANK YOU!
