Creations for Charity – Amman & Jerash, Jordan, 2017
After driving 15 hours from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where we live, we had a wonderful time donating Lego kits to about 20 children ages 5-10 in an orphanage in Amman, Jordan. We spent about an hour with them helping them build their kits. Here are some photos of the children enjoying their Legos:
After the children had to go, we put all of the pieces from the kits into a common Lego bin. The Orphanage will keep the Legos in their play room for the children to use many years into the future. While the children spoke only Arabic we were able to communicate with them through our limited Arabic and smiles. The children and adult leaders loved the kits and it was a very fun and rewarding experience.
We partnered with the Jordanian family of Nidal (not pictured below) and Sahar and their three children to donate the sets. Nidal works in Amman in education and connected us with the orphanage. They also delivered several Lego sets to a Palestinian refugee school in Jerash, Jordan. Unfortunately, due to timing and security concerns we were not able to join them on that donation. Here are some photos of the children in Jerash:
Thank you to everyone who made this donation possible.

I found this resource helpful because it explains router administration in everyday language. While looking for 192 l.168.1.1, I learned about Wi-Fi settings, login access, network protection, and password management. The practical information makes the article useful for ordinary internet users.
I love the idea of combining creativity with a good cause. The Amman and Jerash project is a great example of how creative work can bring people together and make a difference. Multi Model Photo to Video AI Studio is another fun way to explore visual creativity.
What a wonderful initiative! It’s inspiring to see how creativity and travel can come together to support charitable causes while also creating meaningful connections with local communities. Experiences like visiting places such as Amman and Jerash can really broaden our perspective and give us memories that stay with us. It also reminds me how reflecting on our own life experiences, even through something simple like the Official Purity Quiz, can help us appreciate how much we’ve learned and changed along the way.
This is a wonderful example of how something as simple as a box of LEGO bricks can create joy, creativity, and lasting memories for children. It's also great that the sets will continue to benefit future kids through the shared playroom. Moments like these remind us how small acts of kindness can have a long-term impact. On a lighter note, after volunteering with family or friends, we often grab a meal together, and I like using a https://pandaxpressnutrition.com/ beforehand to make healthier choices. Thanks for sharing this inspiring story!
What a beautiful initiative! Driving such a long distance to donate LEGO kits and then spending time helping the children build them makes this story even more special. The photos must be wonderful memories, and it's great to see creativity and kindness being shared with children in Amman.
I also enjoy creative problem-solving activities, and a Block Blast board guide is a fun way to keep that thinking going.
