This organization has different projects. One of them is hope gifts.
In short, the Gifts of Hope projects aims to have volunteer children make toys for less fortunate children. This project is a very meaningful project as it encompasses many aspects of human compassion.
The idea for the project is for the children to have a competition in which the children will make toys for less fortunate children. There is no limit to the materials and designs which can be used, providing an endless opportunity for children to display their creativity. Any toys which have been either partly or entirely made by children will be accepted into the competition. The most important part of the project is that every entry into the contest must have a Hope Letter included with the toy. The children will have to write a letter to their unknown friends explaining what they intended to provide when making the toy. They can include phrases such as “While making this toy I thought to myself that you might not have a doll like this one and this saddened me. Then I thought of you receiving your brand new toy and it made me as happy as you!”
The project aims to give hope to the hopeless, toys to the toy-less, and joy to those who have been hurting for so long. The contest will be organized every year and aims to create friends of hope.
