We Hosted an Iftar Party for Orphaned Kids

March 12th was one of those days we will not forget for a while.

It started 2 days before the event. Another business owner reached out and asked if we wanted to join an iftar gathering for orphaned kids. No big plan, no months of preparation. Just a quick message and a genuine idea to do something good together.

We said yes right away.

The setup was simple but it all came together really nicely. The NGO handled the food and made sure the kids had a proper iftar meal. The other business owner provided the drinks and the place to hold the gathering. And us? We brought school supplies. Books, stationery, the kind of stuff kids actually need. Nothing fancy, but practical and hopefully useful for them every day.

As part of our Pledge 1% commitment, this is exactly the kind of thing we signed up for.

Pledge 1% is a movement where businesses commit to giving back 1% of their time, product, equity, or revenue to causes that matter. When we joined, we did not want to just donate to a faceless fund. We wanted to actually be there. To sit with people, share a meal, and do something that feels real.

And it did feel real.

Watching the kids open their gifts and dig into their meal, that was worth everything. It was a small effort. We know that. But small efforts add up, and we want to keep showing up every chance we get.

None of this would have happened without you.

Every template purchase, every time you have supported Velox Themes, that is what makes moments like this possible.

You are not just buying a template. You are helping us give back to kids who really need it. So thank you. Genuinely, thank you.

This is not a one-time thing for us. Pledge 1% is a long-term commitment and we are just getting started.
