| Welcome to Little Stars - Luxor Children's Trust Fund | |||||||||||||||||||||
Egypt
is a land of ancient superstars. Hatshepsut,
Tutankhamun, Ramses the Great, Nefertiti and
Cleopatra were living Gods worshipped by all
for their power and their strength. Their cartouches
are etched eternally in stone and their names
slip off the tongue like honey from the carved
bees that adorn every column in Egypt’s
greatest temples. Egypt’s past intrigues
and fires the imagination but that was three thousand
years ago. So, what is happening now? Visitors
still flock to the temples but do they see beyond
them? Do they see the Little Stars that bid
to shine through the heap of bad cards that
life has dealt them? |

How
do Luxor’s orphans and abandoned children get by? How do families
survive on what can be as low as £5 or £6 per month when world
prices are spiralling upward? How do those children with disabilities
manage in a hostile environment that is 95% desert and stricken with poverty when they are outside the school system and there is no treatment available?
The answer to all those questions is simple. Without your help they will
not manage at all. There is no danger of a child falling through the welfare
net, because there is no welfare net to catch any of them. |

With your support, Little Stars will assist abandoned, orphaned, disabled and disadvantaged children in Luxor regardless of their gender or their religion. A winged Isis was chosen as the Little Stars mascot because by legend she is the protector of children. If asked to protect children she will hold them in her arms and enfold them in her wings of love and peace. The aim of Little Stars is to protect all children in that way. Little Stars is registered with the United Kingdom Charity Commission and, to ensure that we work entirely within Egyptian law, it is also registered with the Egyptian Social Services and authorities. This means that we are properly licensed for all our activities and undergo regular inspections of our work. Have a look through our website and consider making a donation to the fund or to sponsor an Egyptian family. The aims of the Trust are wide and Trust Funds are not bottomless pits. They need constant replenishing if they are to work and really make a difference. They need your support and that makes you important in the lives of children that you have never met but who are dependent on you. Show them that you care and that they are not forgotten by everyone. Please have a look at our latest newsletter to see photographs of the progress we have made in all fields. It is your help that made all this possible. |
