Two nights ago I set up a virtual collection for winter coats for Syrian refugee children sitting in camps in Gaziantep and around as well. The response has been very positive and has been yet another encouragement that together we can move mountains and get things done and support the cause and rally for freedom - and, very importantly, support the children who are paying such a high price with their childhoods.
This particular collection was a project I had been wanting to do for a while but was finally prompted by the collection Hassan AlMasri did for sponsorships for orphans inside Syria, aslo with Zakat Foundation. He used a platform website called Razoo and after looking around at other platforms including a "free one" (obviously with a catch and very few technical options), then I decided this was the best venue for this particular collection. The money will go directly to Zakat so I don't have to be the middle person; I am merely the facilitator, or whatever you want to call it, along with the dozen or so other hosts I invited to this virtual event.
These are amongst the children we are hoping to provide warm coats for. This is a picture from Gaziantep refugee camp.
