Dear Partners,
Greetings from El Shaddai!
We are all safe and doing well in El Shaddai. The world is still affected by this deadly pandemic but all of us have learnt to adapt in such tough times,
El Shaddai Charitable Trust was honored by a visit from the Governor of Goa, His Excellency, on Tuesday 26th October on the occasion of the 71st Birthday of the Prime Minister of India. The children of El Shaddai were provided with goody bags by the governor at the end of the program.
On the occasion of Diwali, children from various orphanages in Goa were invited to the Raj Bhavan by Governor of Goa. In the short ceremony, children sang patriotic hymns. After touring the Raj Bhavan children happily returned. A beautiful hand-drawn picture by one of the El Shaddai Child was gifted to his Excellency. It was a wonderful experience and our children had a great time.
We also celebrated Children’s day on 14th November in homes with special programme and meal. All the children had great fun and happy to receive lots of sweets.
Music and dance classes for the children are conducted every alternate day. Besides, they are also engaged in extra-curricular activities like tailoring and sports like football, basket ball, table tennis, and cricket.
Our children were engaged in various activities as part of their Fun Diwali Holiday activities. Some of the activities were wealth out of waste, hygiene activities, solo dance performances and Indian flag drawing competition and sports activities. Kids also planted some saplings and created diyas, Narkasur and Diwai kandils as part of Diwali celebration. The kids had a lot of fun participating in these activities.
All children have started going to school, with proper protocols of COVID. All the teachers are putting in a lot of efforts to teach them. Our senior children going to college also help the home in charges in taking the studies of the little ones.
We are reaching out to more children who are vulnerable in his pandemic and require care. We require your support more than ever to continue doing our work. Please consider making a donation and sharing our fundraiser within your social networks.
If you are not a monthly donor, sign up today to give as little as $10 - or as much as $200 - per month to help our little children.
We are thankful for your support in these testing times. Please accept our heartfelt gratitude.
Thank You,
El Shaddai
