A wooden jigsaw puzzle. Endless smiles. 🧩❤️ Thanks to the generosity of @wentworthpuzzles, children from the @oscar_foundation communities in Mumbai have been enjoying these beautiful mini wooden puzzles. It’s more than just a game, it’s an opportunity to build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and simply experience the joy of play. Moments of kindness remind us that even the smallest gifts can spark curiosity, laughter, and hope.

A huge thank you to Wentworth Puzzles & @nicnacfarki ❤️❤️ for helping create these special moments and to the incredible OSCAR team in India for bringing opportunities like this to children every day. 💙

Seize an opportunity. Learn. Grow. Share. 🌍🏏 When @cricket.daisie travelled to Mumbai through the @_mccfoundation to coach cricket with the @oscar_foundation and @therightpitch she thought she was going to teach young people the game she loves. What she discovered was that the experience would teach her just as much. From sharing skills on the cricket field to building connections with girls & boys from underserved communities, Daisie learned about resilience, perspective, leadership and the power of sport to bring people together. Read Daisie’s story and discover how one opportunity became a journey of learning, growth and inspiration. 🔗LINK IN BIO

“In January I met 17 year old Deepak in Yadgir, Karnataka. I noticed he was using sign language. He told me he’d never had a hearing test. Hearing and speech impaired we used our phones to communicate. Today, @rathodsunita02 & @karanchavan202 took Deepak and other OSCAR boys to have hearing tests. Next stop hearing aids. I’m so grateful to our U.K. donors for making this happen. Thank you Anne Marie & Richard.” @lumagrawpr ❤️❤️#hearingaids #hearingimpaired #disability #disabilityawareness #oscarfoundation

Day 6 of 12 on the trek to Everest Base Camp ⛰️ with Char Pfiffner

Today was one of the toughest yet, three hours hiking uphill through slippery mud, battling the driving rain. But moments like this remind me why I’m here.

Unlike the typical route starting in Lukla, I began my journey in Salleri, following in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa before joining the main trail. I’m currently in Namche Bazaar at 3,400m, reaching Everest Base Camp (5,364m) on 12th May

So far, together we’ve raised £1,360 for @oscar_foundation Foundation ❤️

I first heard about OSCAR while @bradfield_college and during my gap year I wanted to do something meaningful to support their mission. OSCAR uses football to inspire education and create real change for young people in Mumbai’s underserved communities, a message I strongly believe in.

Every step on this trek has been challenging, but knowing it’s helping support such impactful work keeps me going.

Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean a huge amount. Thank you to everyone supporting me so far 🙏 Link in bio🙏🫶

Child Sponsorship enables the OSCAR Foundation to make a significant impact in low income communities. Sponsoring a child ensures underprivileged boys and girls access the education they deserve. An educated child avoids early marriage, youth pregnancy and addiction and is mobilised to make changes in their communities. OSCAR uses football to engage youth and enrol them in education, football and life skills programmes. Child Sponsorship is the key to development and progress for future generations.
