Rania Endorses Toys of Hope

A couple of weeks ago, Queen Rania of Jordan advocated for world peace on British television, but this time she used another venue to broadcast support for a toy fund drive at a local Jordanian radio station. She praised the staff at the radio station for launching the community initiative Toys of Hope and said, "You've managed, through a very simple project, a very simple idea, to capture what Ramadan is about – it's about compassionate giving and caring for others and to really channel that spirit into something very productive and positive. So I hope through your initiative you've managed to bring a lot of 'play time' to all of our children."

The donated toys are given to orphanages and day care centers around Jordan.
