#makeanorphansmile

We distributed more Eid gifts to more orphans as they were preparing to celebrate Eid tomorrow. Once again, thanks to the generous souls, they can now spend Eid in their new attire. We wish you and your family a blessed Eid Mubarak!

"My mother told me that my father passed away whilst I was in her tummy. She showed me his picture once, and lots of people say that I look like him. He died of liver disease. My older siblings cry every time they see his picture, as they saw him when he was still alive. I never got that chance. My dream is to become a midwife because I see so many women who love their unborn babies and they want them to be born and healthy. I want to help them bring their babies into this world."

"Hooyaday baa ii sheegtay in aabahay dhintay anigoo uurka ku jira,  mar bey I tustay sawirkiisa, hadana dad badan baa ii sheega waad u egtahay aabbahaa. Aabbahay wuxuu u  dhintay xanuunka beerka ah, caruurta walaalaha aanu nahay ee iga waawayn way ooyaan markastaoo ay arkaan sawirkiisa, sababtoo ah markii uu nolaa ayey arkeen. Anigu fursadaas maan helin. Waxaan ku hamiyayaa in aan noqdo umuliso sababto ah  waxaan arkay hooyooyin badan oo jecel ilmahooda aan dhalan  weli , waxay rabaan inuu u dhasho iyagoo caafimaad qaba. Aniguna waxaan doonaya in aan ka caawiyo  taas."

"My father passed away when I was a toddler, and my mother abandoned me after his death.  She now lives in Ethiopia, but I don't know exactly where. I grew up without parents. I used to be a shoeshiner and lived on the streets, and now I study maths at an orphanage centre.  Some of my hair turned so grey from living rough as a kid that I applied henna to hide some of it."

"Aabbahay wuxuu dhintay anigoo aad u yar, hooyadayna waxay iga tagtay dhimashadiisi kadib. Hada waxay ku nooshahay Itoobiya laakiin ma garanayo dhanka ay ka joogto, waxaan kusoo koray waalid la’aan. Waxaan ku shaqaysanjiray in aan kabaha balasheeyo, hadana waxaan ka  barta xisaabta xarunta agoomaha. Nolosha adag  een ku noolaa  anigoo ilmo yar ah waxay igu keentay  in qayb kamid ah timahaygi noqdaan cirro, markaas waxaan mariya ama isticmaala xinne si aan u qariyo cirrada."

We distributed Eid gifts to more orphans. These orphans were recently displaced by the floods in Beledweyne and lost in the process whatever little they had. They were extremely happy that they were not left alone and that people in distant countries were thinking about them, especially in the month of Ramadan. This is humanity. We’d like to thank the amazingly generous souls who have opened their hearts to these orphans.

We are planning to provide over 400 orphans with meals on Eid day with your support. We are almost there and need a little help from you since we are in the last days of Ramadan and it’s in this period where your charity counts most. Please donate and share (see link below).

Waxaanu ku guda jirna u qaybinta dharka ciida caruurta agoomaha ah. Caruurtani waa agoomo  kusoo barakacay fatahaada biyaha ama daadkii dhawaan dhacay ee magaaladda Beledweyne. Waxay ku waayeen masiibadaas  intii yarayd haysteen. Aad bey ugu farxeen in aan cidla lagaga tagin lana ilaawin, sidoo kale  ay jiraan dad ku nool wadamo kala duwan hadana ka farakaya sidii ay u caawin lahayeen iyaga, gaar ahaan bisha  Soonka. Waxaanu jecelnahay in aan u mahad celino dhamaan intii deeqdan ka qayb qaadatay sidoo kale qalbigooda u furay caruurtan agoomaha ah in ay ka farxiyaan.

Dhanka kale waxaanu qorshaynayna in aan u samayno cunto maalinta ciida 400 caruur agoon ah, maadama aynu ku jirno wakhti gebogebo ah bisha barakaysan ee Ramadan dhamaad ku dhawdahay hadii aad weli rabto in aad caawiso ama sadaqo ku darsato barnamaijkan fadlan qayb ka noqo.

"When I grow up I want to become a motivator like my teachers. They motivate and inspire us to be happy and be grateful even if we don’t have the same stuff that other people have."

Alhamdullilah, we have concluded the #MakeanOrphanSmile campaign by preparing festive meals for them in 4 different areas. Over 400 happy orphans benefitted from this. We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts the amazing people who opened their heart and wallets to these orphans. Thank you.

"My dream is to become an Arabic-Somali translator. My inspiration to become one came after I interacted with a group of translators. They were translating from Somali to Arabic and vice versa so easily. They seemed confident, friendly and committed and I knew then and there that I wanted to be one. When my mother passed away, I joined the street and hung around with other street children. I used to clean the tyres of big trucks arriving from faraway places to make some money. Now I’m using whatever little resources I have to learn the Arabic language and become like them. I want to be as committed as them."

"Riyadaydu waa in aan noqdo turjumaan luuqadaha Soomaaliga iyo Carabida waxaan ku dhiiraday in aan noqdo markii aan arkay koox turjumaano ah. Waxay isku turjumayeen Soomaali iyo luuqada Carabida  hadba mid si aad u fudud, waxaa  ka muuqatay kalsooni, saxiibtinimo iyo heelanaan, aniguna waan ogaa in aan doonayo in aan noqdo turjumaan. Markii hooyaday dhimatay waxaan noqday darbi-jiif anigoo raaci jiray caruurta kale darbi-jiifka ah, waxaan lacag ka heli jiray  shaqo i ahayd in aan nafiifiyo taayirada baaburta ka timaada meelaha fogfog. Iminka  waxkasta isoo gala ama ana helo waxaan ku bixiyaa barashada luuqada carabida si aan ula mid noqdo iyaga, waxaan doonaya in aan sidooda oo kale noqdo mid u ah diyaar."

"In the beginning, I didn't like kids who had living fathers because mine passed away when I was just a baby. That's what my mother told me. I don't remember my father and growing up fatherless in a society where having a father is important, everything falls on you. You're always reminded that your father's no longer here when you are referred to as an orphan all the time and how great he was. It didn't help me growing up when all I ever wanted was for him to be here so I can tell people, 'Hey that's my aabbo (dad), I do too have a father'. I now realise that it was God's will. It's not my fault that I'm an orphan and I shouldn't be jealous of other people's blessings. An uncle of mine told me that for whatever loss I experience or will experience, God will give me something better."

"Berigii hore, maan jeclaan jirin marka aan arko caruur la socda aabbahood waayo aniga aabbahay wuxuu dhintay anigoo yar waxaana I sheegtay hooyaday. Ma xasuusto aabbahay anigu, laakiin bulshada waa muhiim in aad aabbo haysato, waxkasta waa kugu dhacayaan. Markasta waxaa lagu oranayaa adiga aabbaha ma noola agoon baad tahay laakiinse aabbaha qof wacan ayuu ahaaa, taasi ima caawin maadama waxa ugu wayn aan rabay ahayd in aan haysto aabbo ila jooga si aan dadka ugu iraahdo kani waa aabbahay aniguna waan leeyahay aabbo sidoo kale. Laakiin hada waan rumaystay in ay tahay qadar Alle, khalad aan anigu leeyahay ma aha in aan agoon noqdo, kamana xumadeen dadka kale wanaagooda. Abtigey ayaa mar igu yiri waxkastoo kugu dhaca ama aad la kulanto ilaahay wax ka wacan buu kugu bedelaya."
