Clear Channel Employee Honors Parents by Aiding Handicapped Children of Afghanistan

from Clear Channel Local Spirit

Denver, CO – Hassina Omar, Clear Channel Radio Account Executive, recently returned from a trip to Afghanistan where she delivered over $42,000 in aid to the disabled children of Afghanistan. Omar is continuing the mission that her late mother, Khadija Omar started several years ago at age 74 by founding Handicapped Children of Afghanistan. The Omar family was determined to send wheelchairs and other needed supplies to innocent Afghan children who had been victims of land mines and other devices. Omar’s mother made two trips to the region to deliver supplies before her death at age 76.

Omar says, “I will continue my beloved parents mission of helping innocent children that have suffered during decades of war. My father had built hospitals in the most rural places in Afghanistan to help the less fortunate. We are truly blessed and I will remain humble and I will always be grateful for I am amongt the lucky and I have realized how unfortunate so many innocent people are. If I can make a small difference in their lives, I will continue to do so.”
