Replay: BLOOM Charity and Kids Leading t...

Uzma Jafri
About this episode

Sorry we are late to publish this week, but travel called and we answered big. Check our stories!

Enjoy this replay where we talked to Amina Shams, founder of BLOOM Charity, about her journey to adoptive motherhood, and how she didn't stop there. What moms stop at step A when there's so much more we know we can do for others?

Amina took it several steps up and started a charity funding play gardens for orphanages in Morocco. This supports the staff who care for the children, as well as provides social and emotional growth for the young residents of these homes. InshaAllah her deeds weigh heavy on her scales as you hear about her work at home and abroad. Allahuma ameen.

Use this episode to incentivize yourself to watch our Reels about one of the BLOOM Charity-supported play gardens we are visiting on our trip to Morocco this month. And find out how to get involved in this important work for orphans.

Tune in ASAP to listen!
