Sharing

Dear Friend,

We apologize for the delay in updating you about the progress in our work in Afghanistan. We have been busy with additional work of adjusting ourselves to the new situation and developing the most effective way of continuing and expanding our work in Afghanistan. The good news is that now we are active in 22 locations in 9 provinces with various social, educational, and entertaining activities for hundreds of children implemented mostly by our youth team leaders.

MMCC´s Herat Center: Our Herat center has become a source of hope and fun for hundreds of children, especially girls. The kitchen in this center, with your financial support, keeps preparing food and creating a beautiful, joyful, productive, and healing environment for the children, especially girls. Here you can see some photos and read a newly published article from Charlie Faulkner, of “The Times” who visited our Herat center: Circus School Gives Afghan Girls Laughter In Dark Times: https://mmccglobal.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Times-scaled.jpg During the Eid Celebration, we provided food presents for all the 300 girls and boys in our center to bring to their families. We always try our best to add different social, festive, and human values to the plain traditional food distribution where the only focus is on food material to survive.

Youth Network: Besides the very successful Herat center´s activities, we now facilitate, supervise, and support 21 super active youth team leaders in 9 provinces who are running weekly social circus activities for almost 1000 children. The 9 provinces are Kabul, Nangarhar, Bamyan, Khost, Herat, Laghman, Balkh, Ghor, and Konar. The activities include various social circus and social games as well as different arts and social skills. The 21 team leaders independently work closely in and with their own local communities and are supervised and mentored by our higher management.

Winter on the way: We will be soon preparing for the winter by providing and distributing winterization packages which include food and warm clothes as well. We are so grateful for all the sponsors in particular those monthly donors who make it possible for us to plan ahead with confidence. We hope more people join our “Sharing” campaign, especially as monthly donors to help many more children and families in this coming winter.

We hope to bring more food and fun to many more children and families with your help in spreading the word and sharing this report and this link: www.globalgiving.org/projects/Sharing in your network and on your social media.

Thanks for your support and your generosity especially in these difficult times.
