'Koodake Zamine Man' is a Persian blog that was created on 29th October 2006. It has gained many kind members and a lot of warm support and help since then and that's why we decided to make an international version, so that people from all over the world can join us and help!
The members of 'Koodake Zamine Man' have worked on their first project, a cards project. These cards were for the Iranian new year which is in March. They gave almost 540 handmade cards to three charities: a charity for deaf children, a charity for children who have to work, and a charity for children with low abilities. They also gave books and toys. Many of these toys were given for FREE to the members of 'Koodake Zamine Man' who gave them to the children. They also got free play magnets! Thanks to all these kind people, hundreds of children were happy! Some of the children were asking for English cards, sent by people from Europe and the USA - while they couldn't even read English! The cards were really special for the children.
The people from the charities were so kind! The children with low abilities gave the people from 'Koodake Zamine Man' very precious handmade gifts, they came with four people and each one of them got a gift from the children. The photo below shows a handmade plate made by Sarah.
There is also a picture of the people of 'Koodake Zamine Man' together with the children with low abilities, but because of the children's privacy we're unable to post it.
Now the goal of 'Koodake Zamine Man' and 'We Are The Children' is to help in a different way than giving money. Most charities only give you one option to help - giving them money. We want to help in a special, personal way. We want to show how easily you can do something really good for another and how worthy a smile or a happy day can be.
Our blogs are inspired by The Little Prince, a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. As The Little Prince says:
"If you tell grown-ups, "I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof...," they won't be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, "I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs." Then they exclaim, "What a pretty house!"
The pretty house is the one with the doves on the roof...
"But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart."
The Little Prince
That's why we love The Little Prince very much, and the world of children, we want to make all these little princes (and princesses) of the world happy...
