NEWS & EVENTS

After the long and grim winter, spring has brought a new beginning.

The month was full of hopes, but unpredictable events shocked the whole world.

Several programs of the foundation have been temporarily suspended for the health and safety of our residents and the staff.

 

  • At the beginning of the month we celebrated International Women’s day. The elders enjoyed their day in the center. They received presents from ALCF, danced, sang, then took part in a festive treat. The Holiday was also wonderful for the shelter residents. We prepared presents for them as well.

MYRADOON

Due to COVID-19, we have locked the complex for the safety of our residents and that has put an extreme stress on the Foundation as well as the post shelter women who get to live rent free in a comfortable newly built homes in our complex but have to work to feed their children and pay their utilities. Due to the lock down, these residents lost their jobs and have no money to feed their children and pay their utilities We ask you to support these sheltered women. Please!!! They had already started their lives to feel independent and able to take care of their expenses and now they need help again. They are feeling sad and down!!!

You can send your support to ALCF and write Post shelter emergency help….

Thank you in advance.

PS: WE want to thank those who have been sending their donations to ALCF lately in our support. We appreciate your generosity.

 The residents are making the best of their time spent in quarantine and believe that together we can overcome COVID-19.

  • As it’s already spring, the residents are preparing the greenhouse for planting vegetables and other plants, they also have started gardening.
