Advocating the Rights of Children (ARC) invites donation of gifts to children in shelters through it’s annual Ramazan Collection 2018. These gestures of kindness will contribute to enriching the lives of children in shelters. The gifts will be be presented to over 130 boys and girls with ages ranging from 0-18 residing in Kudakudhinge Hiya, Amaan Hiya (Villimale) and Fiyavathi (Hulhumale’) before the Holy month of Ramazan.
As in the previous two years, this year’s collection will also be held in partnership with Centre for Higher Secondary Education (CHSE). The collection will be held from 23rd to 28th April 2018 and CHSE will be open for donations from 15:00-17:00 on weekdays and 14:00-17:00 during weekend. Please ensure that all donations are in excellent condition (new or gently used). For further inquiries, please contact 7799544 during these hours.
