We are proud that our children, despite their young age, have such compassion for the suffering of Palestinians.” Director, Aghosh Homes, Abdul Rehman Fida, said, “Aghosh Home is not just a shelter but a training ground for courageous children, where they are taught humanity, selflessness, and sacrifice. The love our children express for Palestinians is proof that we are instilling in them the spirit of Islamic brotherhood and support for the oppressed.” Director, Orphan Care Program, Yousuf Mohiuddin, said, “The situation in Gaza deeply shakes our hearts. But expressing sorrow alone is not enough; we must take practical steps as well. Through the Orphan Care Program, we are not only nurturing orphan children but also connecting them to the wider Muslim world.” He further said, “The children’s expression of solidarity with Palestinians reflects their love for their fellow Muslim brothers, sisters, and their children. If today our children are concerned about the oppressed, it is a good sign—it shows they are developing empathy and a sense of humanity.”
