Dear friends,
We are excited to share that the campaign "Ali and Roza’s Love in Action" is nearing completion. Thanks to your generous contributions, we are preparing to build a playground that will serve more than 700 children, many of whom are currently engaged in child labor.
This campaign began as a wedding registry, but it quickly became something much more. Ali and Roza chose to celebrate their union by giving back to children who deserve joy, safety, and a space to simply be kids. Their love has inspired a wave of compassion, and your support has turned that inspiration into tangible impact.
What’s Next
We are now in the planning phase for the playground construction. Our team is working with local partners to ensure the space is:
Safe and inclusive for children of all ages
Built with up-cycled, locally sourced materials
Designed to foster play, healing, and community
Why This Matters
For children who spend their days working instead of learning or playing, this playground will be more than just a recreational space. It will be a symbol of hope, a place where they can experience joy, build friendships, and reclaim a part of their childhood.
One local teacher shared, “These children carry responsibilities far beyond their years. A playground gives them a chance to feel free, even if just for a little while.”
A Legacy of Love
Ali and Roza didn’t just plan a wedding, they built a movement. From the very beginning, they knew their love could be more than a private celebration. They chose to turn one of life’s most personal milestones into a public act of generosity, inviting their community to join them in lifting others.
Their campaign, “Love in Action,” is a reflection of who they are: two people who believe that love is most powerful when it’s shared. Instead of gifts, they asked for something far more meaningful, support for children who rarely get the chance to play, dream, or feel safe.
Ali and Roza have always chosen joy. They believe in the healing power of play, in the dignity of every child, and in the idea that even the smallest act of kindness can ripple outward. Their wedding registry became a platform for empowerment, a call to action, and a source of hope for hundreds of children who carry burdens far beyond their years.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support is building more than a playground, it is building a future filled with possibility.
With gratitude,
The Power Of Play team
