Story
Every year hundreds of men, women and children are subjected to acid violence across the World. Sadly in over 80% of cases, women are often the victims and children are often severely burnt as collateral damage.
As you can imagine, this attack is a life changing event for the survivors and it takes years of surgery, social and psychological rehabilitation before they are able to stand up on their own two feet.
Now, these survivors are inspirational human beings, they are ever so resilient and strong! You can view some of the survivors story on the Islamic Help Youtube page - http://www.youtube.com/user/IslamicHelp, search for Smiles Better.
Islamic Help, a UK based NGO has been working with survivors of acid attacks for many years. The charity under the banner of the Smiles Better Campaign works in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan, and Uganda to provide life changing corrective surgery and rehabilitative support to the survivors.
I want you all to support me in this initiative and help raise much needed funds and awareness for the Islamic Help Smiles Better Campaign.
There are 3 ways for everyone to get involved;
Firstly - Buy your tickets for the 'Pearl Daisy Fashion Experience Dinners' - see the following link for more details - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY2Lxzr4kKs. Bring your family and friends to the event!
Secondly - Become a Smiles Better Rep! Join my JustGiving team - http://www.JustGiving.com/teams/pearldaisy4smilesbetter and help raise awareness and funds by encouraging your family and friends to support the cause! Please contact Sadak Iqbal if you would like to volunteer!
