Bengali Bake Sale for Orphanage in Bangladesh

Our second bake sale was a success, alhamdulillah.  The 99 orphan team and Bengali families of Delaware worked hard to provide an amazing dinner to our guests and we had lots of additional fun games and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Alhamdulillah, we raised more than $2,700 at the bake sale, even more than we raised in January's Indian bake sale!  We look forward to witnessing what we can accomplish in our next events with the help of generous donors like you.

99 Orphans Team at ZF 4th Annual Award Ceremony

Alhamdulillah, the 99 Orphan team had a great time at ZF's fourth annual award ceremony at DelTech.  Our team members presented briefly about our project, had an awesome auction, and even got a few more orphans sponsored!  It was definitely a memorable experience for us all.  Here are some pictures of the 99 Orphan team members from the event:

Movie Night: Captain America, Popcorn, and One Orphan Sponsored!

Alhamdulillah, our movie event on Saturday was a great success.  Everyone enjoyed watching Captain America and the Winter Soldier (Captain America 2) while eating yummy, crunchy, buttery popcorn popped and served by 99 Orphan team members at the ZF Center.  Over twenty attendees were there to watch the movie and we raised $100 from the movie ticket proceeds.  Generous donors gave additional donations in honor of our event that totaled up to $500, allowing us to complete our eighth orphan!  Here are some pictures from the event:

We have a few exciting events coming up during the next few weeks, insha Allah.  Stay tuned to find out more!

99 Orphan January Updates

Alhamdulillah, the 99 Orphan team has been progressing well during the past few weeks.  During our 2015 launch meeting, we discussed the members' roles and potential ideas for the next few months.  We will be sharing this information soon, insha Allah.

So far, we have been able to raise money for a few orphans this year, alhamdulillah.  Our Lancaster youth group already raised $500 for this year's campaign and we are looking forward to seeing more from them during the next few months.

Our Indian bake sale was a great success, as well.  With the efforts of the Indian families of Delaware and the many others who came to support our cause, we were able to raise $1350 from the event.  The 99 Orphan team is extremely grateful to everyone who helped make the event a success.

Here are some pictures from the event:
