On April 11th, UPC (Universal Peace Council) organized an entertainment event for children with cancer at Helping Hand Global Forum headquarters. The afternoon included various activities of music, dance, and sports. A delicious lunch was also served to the participants.

This event exemplified a collective effort by representatives from various communities, including Druze, Arab, Jewish, and Christian. Their dedication to bringing joy and hope to those in need showcased the spirit of unity, generosity, and compassion, which can inspire others to spread love and kindness to those around them.

“Each one according to his purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or compulsion, for God loves a happy giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
