Giving Is Living

Dear all,

Season’s Greetings!

Given the state of economy globally this year the festive season is going to be tight for many families given that 80% of our world is either family owned businesses or self-employed.

Though children have highest resilience, during rough patches they are the first to get their wish lists axed not that parents enjoy doing it, but they are busy making ends meet. Children through such patches need hope, inspiration and a beacon that guides them through into prosperity. Every year annually around this time of the year I do give away educational toys and food to families who need it. This year the number of families impacted far exceed my individual capacity to support everyone who needs our care. I am hoping together we would be able to bring more smiles and cheer to our world.

If you currently do not have Festive Season Giving Away Programs set up, please consider setting one up. If you need a co-ordinator, I would be glad to offer my time and energy voluntarily to set this up & support this initiative. Please do get your team to reach out to me: https://www.afrrozhudli.com/contact . Here is how I go about it: Each family gets 1 Educational voucher and 1 Food voucher.

1. Educational Voucher: In my formatting years age 3 to 7 my dad gave me practical toys Cricket kit, Badminton kit, Tennis Kit, Swimming classes, Computer, music classes, dance classes Mountain bicycle, Science Kits, Board Games et al that has made a huge difference to my being. As a result, by age 12 I was earning as an athlete and investing to finance gifts for my tribe through the year. Inspired by his model I give away

Coding Vouchers

Lightbot: $2.99 one-time charge. Lightbot's low-cost app is all-ages friendly and available for iOS, Android, and Amazon devices.
Code Combat: Prices start at $9.99/month following FREE trial. Best for older kids, Code Combat uses an interactive, competitive gameplay mode to stimulate learning. Kids can be online, playing in seconds; advanced skills do come with a cost. The game itself looks quite antiquated and might not thrill kids raised with games more sophisticated than Donkey Kong.
Codemoji: Prices start at $7/month with discounts for long-term commitments; multiple users are allowed. Put those ubiquitous emojis to work educationally with this website that eschews complex codes for user-friendly expressions, quite literally. Kids learn to code by using emojis to substitute for HTML or CSS codes. They will have so much fun they won't realize the work they're putting in. The initial lesson is FREE.
Kodable: $6.99/month or $59.88/year following FREE trial. Kodable has built a full-fledged coding curriculum for kids ages 4-10. Kindergartners can learn basic programming logic and build from there so that by the time they are in fifth grade, they're writing JavaScript code. Widely used in schools, Kodable is also available on iOS devices.

Vouchers worth 2 months access for sport lessons or music lessons of their choice including leasing equipment’s for the sport or music through tie-ups with local providers. Works best for families with only 1 child.
