Australian Eid Gift Drive 2008 |
A Mission of Hope initiative
About the project
Mission of Hope (MoH) wishes to take this opportunity to invite you to take part in a community based initiative which aims to bring hope to less privileged children, children and the elderly in hospital care, adults in detention centres, individuals accomodated in local nursing homes and aged care facilities .
MoH is into its 3rd year running where we collect donations and gifts from the community and redeliver these gifts back to charity-based organisations, hospitals, aged-care facilities, detention centres, etc.
Requests from Organisations (Muslim and Mainstream):
We are asking organisations to participate in this program to help us make the upcoming Eid for Muslim children a pleasant and memorable one.
We require from your organisation, a list of children who you wish to nominate as recipients of these gifts. Simply provide us with a list of children and inform us of ONLY their Age and Gender.
This list is then advertised to the Muslim community and volunteers from the Australian Muslim Volunteer Network (AMVN), to give them the opportunity to purchase gifts and have them delivered to one of our nominated drop-off locations.
MoH will then arrange with your organisation to have these gifts delivered to you so that you can allocate them back to the target recipients.
How you can make a difference?
There are several ways you can contribute to help make this program a success.
Purchasing Gifts:
If you wish to purchase a gift for children, you are encouraged to do so by dropping off the gifts to any one of our nominated drop-off points:
Please do NOT wrap your gifts as this will assist us with allocating your gifts appropriately based on the children's gender and age. Wrapping of gifts will be handled by our team of volunteers.
Note that the Children's Hospital at Westmead and Randwick have requested that only soft toys be purchased as gifts to minimise any chance of injury to the young children.
We recommend that when purchasing gifts for older children, that you place consideration towards gifts which are educational and entertaining in nature.
Zam Zam water is encouraged for the elderly in care.
Donations to buy gifts are needed:
If you cannot purchase a gift, but wish to send money to delegate the Eid Gift Drive Committee to purchase the gifts on your behalf, kindly send your donations to:
