Big Orphan's Day

3/4/2009

On April 3rd, the 'National Orphan's Day' in Egypt, RAC Maadi ElGedida has gathered about 700 orphan kids to spend a day in Akhnaton school in which entertainment, games and activities for the kids were organized in order to ensure a pretty good time for the kids.

The ages of the kids ranged from 4 to 16 and were from different orphanages.

It was a very joyful day for the boys and the girls since there were various activities to do like dancing, playing games, playing football, watching shows, getting their face painted, candy eating and playing with the other kids in the playground of the school.

As organized by the project leader, Mohamed Shaker, at the beginning of the day, the children had a breakfast meal that consisted of a patee, "Yes" juice and "chipsy'' potato chips. The lunch offered to them was from Macdonald's and Wesaya and "Siwa" mineral water bottles were available during the day.

When it was time for them to leave, the kids were given toys (acquired from Mohsen El Fayoumi) as gifts.
