The Boxing Day Festival was organized with the dual purpose of supporting single mothers in launching their own businesses and providing essential education to newcomers in Canada.

As part of the festival, six free public workshops were held, specifically designed to address the needs of immigrants adapting to life in a new country. Topics covered in these sessions included:

How newcomers can access loans and what they need to know beforehand

Addressing mental health challenges faced when adjusting to a new society

Following the explosion at Rajaee Port in Bandar Abbas, many dock workers and truck drivers tragically lost their lives. In response, we came together to raise funds and offer support to the families of the victims.
Fortunately, the same team that previously delivered housing units on our behalf to earthquake victims in Khoy kindly agreed to travel to Bandar Abbas. With the help of a local insurance representative, they obtained a list of names and contact numbers of several affected families.

As in previous years, we decided to prepare and donate New Year food packages and traditional sweets for underprivileged children and their families.
To support this cause, we organized a festival called Valentine, where we rented out vendor tables and dedicated all proceeds to benefit the children.

The Mehrgan Festival was held with the purpose of supporting Avand School in Sistan. Thanks to generous sponsors, the necessary funds were secured prior to the event. On the second day of the festival, a heartfelt video was presented showcasing the school, its students, and the distribution of school supplies to children in nearby communities—an initiative we had proudly completed earlier.

We launched a heartfelt campaign to support a 19-year-old mother of 8-month-old twins, who had been diagnosed with colon cancer and urgently needed surgery, chemotherapy, and extended care. With her husband being visually impaired, the young family was facing overwhelming financial and emotional challenges, relying heavily on her as the primary source of income.

This year, our school named Avand was built in the village of Maidan (Anark), located in the Bam Pusht district of Sirkan.

Construction began in May, and thanks to the generous contributions raised during the Mehrgan Festival, the full cost of the project was successfully covered. Avand is the sixth school built through the collective efforts of the dedicated members of our group.

Today, the school is fully operational, and children are already attending classes—turning a shared dream into a lasting reality.

This group is always committed to supporting newcomers in need—because we've all been there, and we know that the journey of immigration is far from easy.

In this spirit, we launched a campaign to assist a woman who had just arrived in Canada, helping her take her first steps toward building a stable and hopeful future.

Mahsa is a 24-year-old woman battling cancer. Due to her young age, she had never undergone a mammogram, and tragically, the cancer had already spread to surrounding tissues by the time it was discovered. She lost her job as a shop assistant four months ago and has been unable to work since. Mahsa’s story is marked by deep loss—she also lost her father in the Kermanshah earthquake.
