Orphan Sponsorship Program (2014) January 2015 | Page 11
what we do
We aspire to raise awareness and funds for orphans across the globe, that
are living lives of destitution and hardship
These two points serve as the founding mission statement for what OSP
does and what the team strives to do every year.
Awareness:
Creating awareness and spreading the word happens to be another best
way to help a cause. At OSP, we firmly believe that and we have held
numerous events int he past with the sole purpose of spreading
awareness. OSP holds booths in events targeted to general public such as
conferences and open festivals to actively spread the word.
Funds:
Providing financial support for a cause is usually the best way to help it,
and to do so OSP hosts numerous events, and promotional campaigns. The
events run throughout the year starting with our Annual 100 Orphan
challenge in January. Some of the other OSP events hosted over the years
include:
¥ Bowling Night
¥ Orphan Awareness Day
¥ 30 in 30 Iftaar
¥ Night of Orphans
One of the latest edition to this list of events is OSP marathon which is
done in collaboration with Scotiabank Marathon
