Please
join me during the 2012 Ramadan holy season in a simple act of compassion to support
the Adopt-A-Camp Care
Package project.
The program will provide 5,000 large “care packages” of
personal hygiene products, clothing, bedding and food items to help improve the
lives of laborers, some who have been abandoned by their employers.
This
effort is organized by the non-profit Adopt-A-Camp organization and the DubaiChamber of Commerce.
The goal is to raise enough money to cover the cost of 5000 pillows @ AED12.
If I can find 200 people to donate 300 dhs each ($80) we will succeed. Thank
you for anything you can do. Please feel free to ask your friends
to help. Contact me email: katiefoster46@gmail.com or

Bed
bugs and lice are a huge problem in the camps. Laborers return to camp after a long day of hard work only to be kept up all night
scratching away. Part of our drive is to
help the camps be bed-bug and lice-free by providing new mattresses and
pillows, so the laborers can finally get a full night’s rest.
They say a
peaceful night of sleep is the best gift we can give them…that and the
knowledge that there are people out there who care.
The deadline to turn in the
contributions is Tuesday, July 31. So if you are so moved to help
those less fortunate than yourself, Theresa
Dommett has volunteered to help me collect funds this year. Please contact
one of us to make arrangements to collect your donation.

Volunteer to help assemble the care packages. On Thursday, August
9, starting at 9pm you are invited to help assemble the care packages at the Dubai Convention Centre.
When all packages are assembled, if you wish, you may assist with the distribution of the Care Packages directly into the hands of the laborers and see for yourself how you made a genuine difference. The entire process will be completed by 4:30 AM.
Supervised children are welcomed.
