Members of Emirates' multinational cabin crew team aboard one of Emirates' wide-body aircraft Give the gift of home to Madagascan children this Christmas A new crowdfunding campaign launched on Zaar is raising much-needed funds to help chil- dren in need in Madagascar as the facilities offered within the orphanage that houses them are under threat of closure. The Malta-registered charity The Arnaud Guesry Foundation runs La Maison d'Arnaud, an or- phanage for vulnerable children in Northern Madagascar. This residential facility currently hous- es 30 children full-time, aged be- tween three months and 12 years, with education, nutrition, health services and psychosocial support provided through 20 full-time members of staff. The Malta for Madagascar Christmas Campaign on Zaar hopes to raise a total of €5,000 for crisis relief cases next year: beds reserved in the home for chil- dren in urgent need of specialist care and adequate security, such as abandoned infants or children, children removed from exploita- tion, and cases of severe abuse, including neglect. A €10 donation brings a smile to a child's face with a Christmas present, €25 pays for school supplies as part of their ed- ucation, and €100 enrols a child in an extra-curricular package of a summer school and weekend education programme including meals and health-checks. Mean- while, €350 saves a child from malnutrition with a guaranteed place in the charity's re-feeding programme and €1000 sponsors a child's life-changing surgery as required. The Foundation supports sev- eral valuable community projects in the area, including a prison support project, a summer school, malnutrition rehabilitation, a sustainability project, and a local hot meal project. However, with- out additional support from the community received through the crowdfunding campaign, these life-changing facilities may be forced to close. This new Zaar campaign follows the success of a previous crowd- funding project by the charity two years ago, when the generosity of the Maltese people saved the pro- ject from closure amid the COV- ID-19 crisis. "We are so incredibly grateful for all the support we re- ceived in those critical weeks," Ms Lejman goes on. "Now, we hope to regain some of our strength and recommit to those children we have kept on hold for so long as we hunt for the funds to return to full working capacity."
