From Farhana......... Islamic Festival.

From Farhana......... Islamic Festival.

I have just been to visit Omer's grandparents with Asim. They told me today is the first day of a Muharram in the Islamic calendar, called Aashura. Today Allah saved prophet Noah and his people in the Ark . As a mark of thanksgiving we should fast today.

Also she said because it is considered a 'Good great Day' I should indulge the children and make them lots of nice things to eat. I should cook their favourite food, offer them their favourite dessert and buy them nice things. She also said today is a blessed day and anything which I would be thinking of buying, I should buy today.

A Ray of Hope, UNESCO Youth Ambassador for the Culture of Peace

A Ray of Hope is not a charity and we try as far as possible never to assist in currency form, but rather prefer to investigate what people, especially children, need throughout the world and to deliver that item directly into their hands. This avoids many of the pitfalls that exist in the world of giving.
We believe that diversity of culture is enrichment and actively look for and promote friendships ..... if we can assist our friends we do.We have little difficulty in obtaining certain educational supplies and to date have distributed over $9 million worth. Some of the smaller items, although easily purchased, we feel it is to the benefit of everyone that those who wish can assist us and in doing so know that they have helped directly.
No member of A Ray of Hope receives financial gain of any kind but the true satisfaction of knowing that, at very least, we are attempting to make a difference.

Aims of A Ray of Hope
