Dear Friend,
We at Child Foundation would
like to wish you and your family a very safe and happy holiday season. Indeed,
we have plenty to enjoy during this time, our families, our friends, our
health, and all the wonderful opportunities that are available to us everyday.
Please consider taking a moment to share your good fortune with a child who
really needs it. A child like Zahra whose single mother is forced to battle
cancer and poverty at the same time needs your help. Please consider sponsoring
a child like her today as one way of giving back for all that you have and
enjoy in your life.
Zahra's Story
Zahra, a four year old girl, along with her
brother, who is a second-grade student in elementary school and their mother
live in a basement that is not suitable for living. Zahra's father passed away
due to meningitis four years ago. Their mother has cancer and has become more
ill, but is the only person to look after Zahra and her brother.In spite of
being treated with chemotherapy and surgery, Zahra's mother still has a
cancerous lump in her body, which requires another surgery. Due to her health
problems, and very little income, this family has been facing a very difficult
life. Thanks to the help from sponsors, Zahra's family has some assistance now.
There are many children like Zahra that need sponsors.

Mahdi's Story
Mahdi lives in the city of Mazar-e-sharif. He is nine years old and
enjoys school. Mahdi's father was arrested during a Taliban upraising and there
is no news about him yet. Currently, he lives with his grandfather who is ill
and has no steady income. They live in a very poor one room dwelling with no
amenities.
Mahdi enjoys biking and drawing and greatly needs your support. Please consider

Successful Recent Events
Universal Children's Day
As the world recognized Universal Children's Day, Child Foundation promoted and
coordinated this special day to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the UN General Assembly, to promote
international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide.
At the event, nearly 140 guests attended a lunch reception at the Camden House
banquet room in Beverly Hills. Attendees enjoyed the music by Rojeh and his
four-member band. Then a CF promo was screened and it was followed by a short
speech by CF Board Member Mr. Peyman Raoofi.
Guests enjoyed entertainment including live performances by Nima and Enayat.
Next door to the event there was a room designated for children's
entertainment. A clown entertained kids with his balloon sculptures and Mojan,
a CF volunteer did a great job with her face painting. Kids also enjoyed gifts
and a Charlie Chaplin replica.
President-elect of the Los Angeles County Psychological Association (LACPA),
Dr. Amy Rosett, was among the distinguished guests. She made a donation to
Child Foundation at the event.
Child Foundation was able to successfully sponsor 18 kids and raise money to
help children in need. CF received support from the following Persian Media:
JameJam Tv, Time TV, Iranian TV, PEN TV, Omid e Iran TV, Radio 670am, Javanan
Magazine, Hafteh Bazaar Magazine, and Yellow Pages Melli. All of this was
possible with great team work and help from dedicated CF volunteers who planned
and organized the event.
Children's Concert to Benefit Child Foundation
The Concert For Kids was a new event in the Beaverton community. It was held on
November 17th at Beaverton High School. The event was a school project by Babak
Seyed Shakeri that evolved into something else. The concert started becoming
less of a project and more of a mission.
The concert performers were teens and children from the local area including
Pevyand and Payam, and a violin duet. There was also a dance performance by The
Persian Dance Academy and a local 12 year old singer.
The goal was to raise $1000 dollars for children in need. That night alone,
over $1100 dollars was raised for Child Foundation. In addition to raising the
money, we also raised awareness and changed children's lives.
Dubai Charity BazaarChild Foundation in Dubai held a Charity Bazaar at Azad
University on November 19th. This event was well attended and many local and
Persian owned businesses introduced their services to the community. It was a
good opportunity for Child Foundation to introduce itself and its activities to
the students and faculty of Azad University. Many thanks to the President of
the University and the very helpful staff for providing the space and
accommodations for this event.
