From February 7 to 16, Insight Meditation Center is partnering with Save the Children to assist their Children’s Emergency Response Fund.
We are raising funds which focus on the needs of children affected by war, climate change and other extreme factors. Funds are allocated to those countries and contexts in greatest need. Areas the organization is currently focused on includes the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza – Israel conflict, and in Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, and elsewhere. The funds are largely used for food, shelter, medicines and other existential needs.
This IMC initiative aims to uplift and protect children and to contribute to building a more compassionate world. It is an opportunity for the growing IMC community to use our collective generosity to have a significant impact. Every donation made towards such a cause not only provides immediate aid but also plants seeds of goodwill and care that may ripen as these children grow into adults.
We did a similar fundraiser three years ago for children effected by the war in Ukraine. At that time, we raised $70,000 for Save the Children’s efforts. We aspire to raise at least this much with this fundraising drive. This time the donations are going through IMC’s page on Save the Children’s website.
“I am confident these donations can make a lasting impact on the well-being of our global community.”
