There is an unimaginable degree of joy in seeing a smile on the face of a child, and working to ensure that all children of the world are happy and healthy is something that we as a global community should aspire to achieve.
Regrettably, due to economic limitations, there are millions of children living in conditions that most would find inconceivable, particularly in communities and orphanages in developing countries. Sadly, this situation is much worse when children suffer from physical and/or cognitive disabilities.
Today, there are millions of children facing these odds around the world that are in desperate need of help. To address the needs of these children, one has to realize that because of the direct link between poverty and orphaned children, equal attention must be paid to efforts that will guide these communities out of poverty and toward a more sustainable future. None of the parents in these situations want to abandon their child, but when there are no means of supporting them, families assume that perhaps an orphanage can provide them the needed support.
As a human and a parent, I cannot look at my own children's faces and not think of those other children living with physical and/or cognitive disabilities in underprivileged communities and reference a poem by a famous Persian poet, Saadi Shirazi of the 13th Century, called “Human” which should constantly remind us that, “...If you do not have sympathy for the pains of others, you are unworthy to be called a Human.”
I personally would like to invite you to join us in carrying out Bait E Jamila Foundation mission and vision by becoming a supporter of this foundation and its wonderful cause.
Help Bait E Jamila Foundation in its commitment to provide humanistic support to these children and their underprivileged communities.
Thank you for your generous support. I hope that you will assist us in providing helping hands to these less fortunate children and their communities.
