This is the story of Ghaith. Ghaith was a ten year old boy from Aleppo, Syria. At the age of six, his town was demolished by Syrian forces who bombed the area suspecting the presence of rebels. As they tried to flee, he was forced to witness his little sister’s death, as his own home collapsed over her. He and his family had to leave everything behind and go to a refugee camp at the Syrian-Jordanian border, the Zaatari Camp, where they stayed there for three years during which his father lost a battle to malaria. At the age of nine, he was moved yet again to a town with shared houses for refugees. At around the same time, the ISG Schools District sponsored a trip to the Compassion Summit. We met Ghaith when he was 9 years old in the Compassion Summit. He had an upbeat personality with a lot of hope despite everything he went through. He’d always crack jokes and try to make things funny. He had a huge amount of passion for Football and Art. As part of our project, we attempted to reconnect with Ghaith this year, to have him share his story to the world. We were met with the news that he passed away from fever as his mother couldn’t afford his medicine. Ghaith should’ve been saying these words. Ghaith should’ve been the one sharing his own story.
So having said his story, we vow never to forget his smile, his interests, and his dreams. We stand in solidarity, and in a moment of silence, in the name of Ghaith. #gslgoals

With the growing darkness of COVID-19 engulfing the entire world, forcing people to stay home, silencing the busiest places of the world with a wave of fear and death, there has been some ray of light on environmental issues…It is unfortunate that such a pandemic that claims millions of lives is bringing such a change on the environment when we should have acted long back, which would have prevented this in the first place. We humans are still able to manage somehow but what about the strays who were dependent on us for the food? Let's take a moment to think about them and donate a certain amount so that we can cover up as many animals we can by providing them food and medical support. Remember "one who feeds a hungry animal, feeds his own soul"
Soon we are going to start a fundraiser where we expect everyone to support us so that we can feed as many strays as we can with a healthy and nutritious meal. Let's do this for the sake of humanity and love. #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #instadogs #igdogs #dogpictures #dogphotos #happydog #famousdogs #doggie #dogslife #doggylove #addorabledog #dogsbeingdogs #dogselfie #dogtreats #soba #sobadelhincr #scindian #scindiaschool #scindians #gslgoals
