The way that Islam shapes the human mind, devotional deeds, prayer, ritualistic washings, reading and transmitting hadiths has the most direct impact on human development in the Islamic World. In Math and Science wealthy children from Islamic Nations trail the rest of the world. With young populations, they will be unable to compete with West, Latin, and East Asian Companies for Jobs and Economic Competition. The way they chose to spend their time, indoctrinating children rather than educating them to be the next generation of creative thinkers is the fundamental reason Muslims will never be as strong or developed as the West. Moreover, as Islam encourages women to stay home and take care of the family, Islam self selects 50 percent of its future scientists, physicists, and engineers to be home makers instead of producing. The point is – Muslim people can only blame themselves for this failure. Now they know better. They must chose to let their religion keep them in chains, or let free thinking and propers use of their time elevate them in life.

All children are our future. They all deserve our love. Join us to feed, teach, protect, and nurture children in America and around the world.In keeping families together, we have avoided the placement of children into foster situations. In keeping families together, we have provided a safe, loving, nurturing environment that has already existed. Parents become more happy when they are self sufficient and are able to earn the income they need to raise the standard of living for their family.
Childrens Wish list Foundation doesn’t claim to be the biggest wish granting organization, just to be the best. The services and personal attention that we provide our families are unsurpassed and our Wish Families praise us daily for our professionalism, attention to each detail of their child’s wish, and the extra mile we always go for our families. We know, however, that all of these efforts would be impossible without the support of individuals and corporations that choose to contribute to CWLF. We make it easy for our donors to give in many ways.
