Dear Friends,
Happy Norouz - "New Day"
The beginning of spring and the season for growth, rebirth and renewal
We at MAP welcome the beginning of spring by remembering the children living in poverty and less fortunate than us. MAP's Second Annual Norouz Fundraising event In Northern Virginia was a great success thanks to all our wonderful guests, volunteers, sponsors and supporters. Your generosity will help provide food, shelter, health care and education to hundreds of children.
In a time that the world is going through turmoil and devastation, it takes commitment and passion to keep hope alive. Thank you for being the light of hope for the children. We are grateful to your continued participation and support of MAP and wish you a year filled with many blessings.
On behalf of the children thank you,
MAP Board Members |
