According to a UNICEF report, there are currently around 150 million orphans worldwide, with more than 60 million orphans in Asia alone. Glancing at Pakistan, there are five million children who are currently deprived of parental care, adequate health and of food facilities which are not available for them.
Embellishing dreams in their eyes, holding a glimmer of hope in their hands and a sense of deprivation in their hearts, these innocent children are fighting the neglect of society. In this era of materialism and narcissism, taking a look at these little birds with love and lighting up the lamp of this love in their scared eyes, is surely one of the gifts of God Almighty that He offers to only a few chosen individuals.

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation has launched virtual support groups for people living with paralysis either due to multiple sclerosis (MS) or other conditions and their caregivers.
Paralysis in some or all limbs occurs in MS and other neurological disorders, often exacerbating feelings of social isolation, even before the global COVID-19 pandemic.
“The feeling of isolation is common for many individuals who have been diagnosed with paralysis, and the COVID-19 pandemic has not helped this sense of seclusion,” Bill Cawley, director of the foundation’s Peer & Family Support Program, said in a press release.
“However,” he added, “COVID-19 has shifted the way the world connects, and distance is no longer an obstacle. We can utilize this ‘new normal’ and create a safe space for people to connect with others who understand what they are going through and gain support, insight and guidance.”
