As-salamu Alaikum Dear Parents,
We recently learned that there are over 1.7 million children who don’t go to school in Ethiopia, and we decided to do something about and practice our monthly character trait “make a difference”.
Help us raise money to build schools for those kids by donating the food items in the attached table (divided by class). Please send your contribution on the specified date and hand it to your homeroom teacher. All students are asked to bring money to purchase any of that food on Tuesday and Thursday (Feb 14 & 16) during lunch time.
All proceeds will go towards “community Driven Education” campaign though imagine1day, a Canadian charitable organization that does awesome work for the Ethiopian community.
Why did we choose Ethiopia?
· Most of our Abraar students are currently learning about the seerah of Prophet Mohammed, peace & blessings upon him, and they are learning about the first Muslim migration to Ethiopia (Abyssinia back then). They learned about how this country received Muslims with generosity and open hearts. We'd like to reconnect with this heritage and show gratitude to that region by 'making a difference' in their lives.
· A few of our classes are also learning about Africa and the Muslim population there, so we feel this is a good opportunity to extend their learning and help them participate in a current cause at that geographical area.
We also accept monetary donations in cash or cheques. Grade 3's will be designing donation boxes that will be present in the hallways throughout Feb 21st- 24th.
