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.

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.
What a wonderful initiative! Driving all that way to spend time with the children and help them build their LEGO kits makes this even more special. It is amazing how a simple creative activity can bring so much happiness and create lasting memories.
For Blox Fruits players, blox fruits value list is also useful for checking trade values before making a deal.
Tadc Mind Games is a psychological horror game with a highly tense atmosphere. As a visual novel game, it places you in a surreal digital circus with an unstable Caine. Your choices can easily lead to a bad ending.
What a heartwarming story! It's great to see kids enjoying Legos. By the way, I've been having fun with the jeffgoldblumle wordle game lately—it's a cool daily word puzzle.
This is heartwarming stuff, really. Kids and Legos? Can't beat that combo. And hey, if you're into music, check out this cool tool https://texttosong.ai/.
