Dear Friends,

It is the time to enjoy the fall harvest and we wish each of you a fruitful season. During this season, large companies such as Microsoft often promote employee giving and gift matching programs. You can double or triple the impact of your gift, when your employer matches your donation. In the spirit of giving, ask your employer if they offer a matching gift program. It will mean a lot to a child who's family does not have the means to feed them.

This month, I am also pleased to share a success story with you about a child named Faezeh. Read more about her story below. Your generous contributions help make success stories like this come true. I hope we can all join together in greater numbers, to support the deserving, talented and determined children of Iran to attain an education that will change their lives forever. Thank you all for supporting Child Foundation.

Sincerely,

Masoud Modarres
Executive Manager

Faezeh's Story

My name is Faezeh and I am an eight-year-old girl from Zabol. I am a smart second grade student. My father works as a labor in a bakery and has not enough income. This year, my teachers helped my family to buy me school uniform. I am very smart and work hard to do my best at school, however I need your help to continue my education.
