As the dahlia celebrated its 100th year as the official flower of San Francisco, thousands of spectators flocked to the Annual Dahlia Show at the Golden Gate Park,

In the midst of this vibrant celebration, we gathered for an intimate GiveLight event, where the beauty of the dahlias mirrored the warmth of our sisterhood. Each petal, each hue, seemed to echo our shared joy and purpose.

A special thank you goes to our dedicated givelighter, Syeda Nasira, whose passion and commitment made this gathering possible for the second consecutive year. This event will be a beloved tradition for many years to come, Insha Allah.

Heres what Nasira wrote

“ I am incredibly grateful to our Almighty God for blessing us with such a memorable & beautiful day at our 2nd Dahlia delights. May He bless us with Guidance, Mercy & Tranquility! Ameen!”

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed delicious homemade dishes, enriching our gathering with so much flavors and love. And to all who attended, thank you for being part of this beautiful tapestry of community and purpose. May we continue to do more inspiring event and spread light in this world.

Meet Summer Qureshi, a shining star in the GiveLight Universe. ✨

Summer is truly an exemplary volunteer. She first joined us as a high school intern, and this past May, she graduated from Columbia University!

For her graduation celebration this weekend, Summer chose to dedicate all of her gifts to the children we serve rather than receive gifts for herself. ❤️

Over the years, Summer has taught our children English and health literacy. She has even traveled to Turkey to meet some of the children she had taught virtually for years, and she wrote a book about their stories.

Summer, we are SO, SO proud of you and all that you have accomplished! Your compassion, dedication, and generosity inspire us all.

Wishing you an incredible new chapter at Cornell as you chase your next dream of becoming a brilliant doctor. We can’t wait to see all the lives you will touch along the way! 💙

This past month, our GiveLight children from across the globe got a taste of Turkey as our incredible volunteer Chef Fatima Ozgun cooked an authentic Adana Kebab live on camera! 🇹🇷

Adana Kebab is a beloved dish from southern Turkey, known for its bold spices and rich flavors. More than cooking, it is culture, connection, and community across borders. 🌍❤️

We are so proud of our children for competing in a Global Nasheed (spiritual songs) competition. Our girls in Morocco won the first place last time. They did such a great job! We are so grateful to their music teacher who guided them through the process- all pro bono.

Results are coming in for this year’s competition. Stay tuned for the announcement.

Have a blessed Friday and weekend everyone!!

Our kids in Multan Home enjoying a beautiful sunset with Dian. Each of our children received customized & personalized tote bags from Adobe USA. One of our long-term volunteers, Aparna Khan, organized an event at the Adobe HQ in SJ, and generous employees designed those bags. Adobe supports our work through employee matching grants. We are so very grateful for this generosity.

Let us know if your company has a matching grant and would like to invite GiveLight. We will be happy to find meaningful ways to collaborate.

One of our dear friends from the Bay Area went to visit Our Home in Pakistan. We’re so grateful that she took the time to go and spend time with our children even in the heat of summer. She brought them ice, creams and sweet mangoes.

Heres what she wrote about her experience:

I had the pleasure to visit GiveLight’s home in Multan on July 10th. It was my second time visiting the home. The administration and staff was very professional and courteous. Children were very welcoming and pleasant. They seemed quiet but relaxed and interested. I introduced myself as Ummi Dian’s friend to each group. It lit up every face every time I said that. I had a beautiful time talking to them.

Can’t wait for my next visit. ❤️
