Volunteering in Egypt and helping Orphans & Poor citizens

Hey,

I think it's a very good idea to collect money and buy stuff for the orphans or make other kinds of donations, im sure a lot of people have old baby clothes/toys and other used or new things they would like to give away.
I would like to join you and all the others who wanna volunteer. Orphans, poor citizens, animals, - let's make Cairo a even better place and make miracles happen.

Thanks for your support & prompt response.

I already brought all my baby old clothes (and toys too is a good idea) and will donate them & will start from today to contact my family & friends in order to donate too, as the feast is coming after the Holy month of Ramadan and orphans will be glad to have some nice clothes in order not to feel different from others

Concerning animals we must make miracles for them

Hi All , it is definitely a brilliant idea. it is nice to see people who r looking after other people specially orphans. they just give them their right in the society and it is really a sort of happiness to see some people who are awake to give the orphans and disabled people their rights. the worst thing is to see a disabled orphan kid.

All of us know well how life here is a bit expensive nowadays. and it will be more expensive for them. I went to a disabled orphan house in Maadi with my friends and colleagues and it was a sort of pain to see all that amount of kids who are disabled and have no parents.

Definitely ,count my family and me in Mohamed. I like to be one of the organizers or even I want to help with any extra effort not only money or clothes.
I always like ur ideas don moe. I know some of orphans houses in Helwan, Maadi and Haram.

God bless U all

mero you are such a kind man
its true that the worst thing is to see a disabled orphan kid
really we must thank God for what we have!
and its good that you know some orphans shelters in your area we need also to know in Heliopolis and nasr city , as for me i know some too))

Hello,

Thanks for the great contribution. Actually this idea was one of our concerns and plans for the coming period of time. Beside visits and donations, I believe in the proverb saying that " Don't give fish to the poor, Teach them to catch the fish. So that he does not depend on anyone for his next lunch or dinner." Accordingly I suggest that each one of us has something teach them, should dedicate time to teach them. Also, we can conduct sessions in order to make them aware of their dignity, as well as enhancing their life skills. Additionally, we can dedicate sometime to read for them.
We can arrange a meeting for all those who are interested, collect ideas and organize our efforts. It would be such a tremendous initiative.

Yes u r right about the fish quote, plus teaching them is a good idea as who have the ability to teach people can make it to orphans and poor too!
Wow really we all have such great idea's
Thanks for sharing

Totally agree with you sousou
Meeting will be our first step and after we have more Volunteers we will plan our meeting.

You are welcome Don moe, this is to confirm having several ideas, not only regarding orphans, poor, disabled people but for the whole social responsibility. Amr & I like the brain storming that help in generating more and more creative ideas. Good luck:)

Yes I wanted to write about other idea's but was afraid that I ca't handle them so I only concentrated about poor,orphans and animals
Plus Amr is such an amazing respectful Egyptian Man and have lots of idea's too

i'm smiling as i type because this topic is dear to my heart and you're extending such kindness and gratitute. it's beautiful. the positive energy you extend into the world makes a difference.

i'll coordinate with you guys before my visit in the new year.
there are usually "wish lists" each charity has regarding items (ie: sometimes its bandages, clothing, books, medical supplies for animal shelters etc) that are in short supply locally or hard to purchase, so bringing them in is relatively simple (given size etc). i'll fill an extra suitcase gladly.

thanks guys.

Great idea, I've been wanting to do something like this for ages! So how can I help? I've no idea how to get involved. The only charity I know is Resala (with an Arabic website) but it'd be great to have an eveent to help orphans if someone can make the right ccntacts. Life isn't only about having fun after all, it's worth making a difference if we can

Guys,
I have worked with Resala before too. Resala & Bedaya are great and have done marvelous work over the last years, and they became very well known and have their own resources and activities; meanwhile, there are many other
associations that are in real need for help and contributions and many people who don't belong to certain association as well. Also we can form our own association by some little collective efforts and contributions and eventually form a great entity.

This is one of the best idea's really, i agree that we can start to arrange our own association 

Dear all

Only for your info.

Today I received lots of clothes starting the age of baby born till 6 years old +
And some toys also
Plus about 200 EGP

So I will start to donate them starting next week
And today I went to a shelter place in Heliopolis and nasr city area named(el wafaa wel amal) and had fun for about 40 minutes
Brought some chocolates,sweets and candies too
Can't describe the happiness and they offered me some candies too but I was fasting

bravo don moe!
really made me smile reading this. its funny how the "needy" can actually be "givers" in the end.
i suspect you walked away with more than what you gave because of their genuine gratitude. it feels like God just patted you on the head:)
i'm looking forward to helping in any way when i come.

Great idea don moe,
We can go to 57357 hospital, as a start and after our visit we can speak more and more for our next job,,,,( I can arrange a trip to one of the poorest area in Egypt is batn-el-bakar and we can go inside deeply if you want to see by your self,,,,etc)
For who is interest to do some thing in this topic we have to arrange a meeting to discuss more and more ...
Thanks
