Mo Farah Foundation shoe box distribution project

1. Mo Farah Foundation shoe box distribution project In association with Tauheedul relief trust Feb 2013

2. In February 2013 the Mo Farah Foundation partnered with Tauheedul relief trust and pupils from the Tauheedul Islam Girls High school to take part in a shoe box distribution project. The pupils spent weeks personally creating & designing shoe boxes that they filled with items based on Eat, sleep, Learn and Play. The shoe boxes were dispatched in February and It took nearly 5 weeks for them to arrive. Here’s what happened when they did………………….

3. The boxes arrived at the orphanage in bags – the children did not know what was inside.

4. The children were all called into the main area and gather around for a surprise.

5. They sat quietly while their boxes began to be distributed.

6. The children opened their boxes with excitement and curiosity. What could some of the items be?

7. The children loved their items and soon wanted to know what each other had.

8. For some of the children this was the first time ever receiving a gift.

9. The boxes had lots of exciting and useful goodies.

11. The children shared with each other and the elders helped read out the messages & written letters.

12. Each box contained a special message of hope and prayer.

13. The children enjoyed their new prayer mats and writing equipment.

15. The manager of the orphanage left this message…..‘These gifts achieved great success and draws the smile for 198 faces of children it became the best surprise they had ever had. Thanks to mo Farah foundation, the children who gave their effort for preparing these boxes and everyone who participating and collecting these gifts’

16. Thank you! We would like to say a huge thank you to the Tauheedul relief trust and the pupils at the Tauheedul girls school for helping us support this orphanage and facilitate the project. Your efforts have made a difference to the lives to nearly 200 children!
