Thank you letters from displaced Pakistani children
We received these two thank-you letters from displaced children taking part in our program to provide them with sports, games, art and other activities to alleviate the trauma associated with their circumstance: |
This one reads: "I am thankful to the Mercy Corps team because they have opened this center where we can receive education. Here teachers teach us how we all children can love each other and live together while taking care of cleanliness. Teachers also told us that the meaning of Mercy Corps is a "Group of Caring People" and that is why Mercy Corps also teaches us the lesson of love and help others. -Haseeba Akhtar" |

This one reads: "Hi, My younger sister Rida is a student at the Mercy Corps Sport and Social Center. She gets up early in the morning, runs to the center and attends all the classes there. This is Mercy Corps’ love, care and friendliness with children that attracts children to the Mercy Corps center. We are really happy and thankful to Mercy Corps that in this critical situation MC gave an opportunity to our children to play and study in a very safe place. Our children are now to some extent out of trauma and they have more attraction towards studies and games, and this is all because of Mercy Corps. Mercy Corps has facilitated activities with our children using sports items, notebooks, colored pencils, etc. Thanks. Yours Faithfully, Adnan Swati Brother of Rida" |
