Dear Friends,
First, I'd like to wish you all a very happy new year
filled with love, joy, prosperity and most of all, health.
Many of us are fortunate enough to be able to spend quality time with our family, friends and loved ones, in homes
filled with joy and light. During these times of
light-hearted joy let us not forget to
acknowledge the world beyond our doors.
Many are not as fortunate as most of us, living in dire
poverty, devoid of any meaningful nourishment, clothing,
celebration or education. These children
deserve to feel the joy that so many others receive. Let us
celebrate by spreading good cheer and good fortune to at least
one person beyond our own circle of family and friends this
year.
Today, there are multiple children on the waiting list,
longing for a sponsor. They look to these sponsors to enable
them to eat or buy a stove to cook food on, or buy a heater so
they don't shiver at night. Perhaps most essentially, they
look to these sponsors to enable them to go to school, or in
some cases to continue their education, so they can have a
chance at breaking out of the crippling cycle of poverty they
were born into. We urge
you to give thanks for
your blessings by donating to a child in need. They will thank
you for life.
Best,
Masoud Modarres
Executive Manager

Shiva's Story
Shiva is an 8 year old girl who lives with her mother and
sister in Ardebil. Despite her family troubles, she has a high
GPA of 19.66 out of 20 points. Shiva's father died two years
ago from a major infection which required hospitalization and
he eventually passed away. Since then, the family has had no
source of income. Their father was building them a house when
he died. With the generous help of a local friend they were
able to finish the small house which they now live in, but
they currently have no income. Shiva and her siblings are
having a hard time continuing school while her mother has no
way to support her children. Her family is in dire need of
financial assistance. Please consider sponsoring Shiva to help
her family with basic needs so that she can stay in school and
have the future she deserves.

Mehrzad's Story
Mehrzad is a 9 year old boy who lives in the city of Bam. He is an excellent student with a GPA of 20 out of 20 points. Mehrzad, his mother and his two sisters live in a small rental unit that barely has room for all of them. Mehrzads father died a few years ago from a sudden heart attack. Since then, the family has lived in very poor circumstances with absolutely no income.Their only sustenance comes from a charitable organization nearby that provides them with basic necessities.
One of Mehrzads sisters has already quit school in order to help her mother manage the family. Mehrzad and his little sister still go to grade school, but with considerable difficulty. This family is very poor and they are in dire need of financial assistance.
Please consider sponsoring Mehrzad today to help his family with urgent needs so that he can continue his education.
