Armeena Rana Khan wants to leave the world a better place.

The actress had recently announced that she'd be joining hands with the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) to help Syrian refugees and she's making good on that promise; Khan is currently in Jordan and has been posting updates on her social media frequently so that people who have donated to the cause can see where their money is going.

The Janaan star also revealed on Instagram that her mother was the inspiration behind all of this.

I wanted to share something with you guys. My mother told me a long time ago that whatever you do in life, always maintain your humanity and don’t forget that God does not like arrogance, such were the lessons taught to me when I was little. I started this Syrian journey with my moms prayers. It is HER dream that I am living right now and her wish that I am fulfilling. It is such a sweet thing and I wanted to share her messages. My heart swells when I read these. This is why I think mothers are so sacred and a lot of these Syrian kids have lost theirs. This is where you come in, you guys are amazing human beings, you’ve helped me put a smile on these children’s faces even if it is for a bit. I am amazed at the love, support and the donations pouring in, I am grateful FROM the heart 🙏🏻 Thank you so much. I begin day two with my mother in my thoughts. ❤️ #syriandiary

The directive is, never allow your left hand to know what your right hand is giving out in charity.

generosity and good deeds need to be highlighted to encourage others to follow suit.Helping refugees is a noble cause and deserves appreciation.

Firstly kudos for doing what the rest of the country will never do, ie action as opposed to batein Secondly no harm in talking about charity. It inspires people to contribute. Losers will be jealous but who cares
