JSS PS RAMADAN CHARITY INITIATIVE
As part of the JSS PS Happiness Initiatives – Beyond Boundaries -
Share a Smile Campaign, the members of the Hope & Happiness
Committee initiated a charity initiative during the Holy month of
Ramadan. It was carried out from grade 1-12. The initiative was started
on 6th
June 2016 and was successfully completed on 13th
June 2016 .
The money collected was used to buy a 1000 kg of rice (That’s a
LOT!!!).
Packed bags of rice were distributed to labourers in the Golden Sands
area of Bur Dubai on Thursday 16.06.16. Caps were also collected as
part of the initiative and was distributed to the labourers by 50 students –
from Primary, Middle and Secondary school . The distribution was
carried at 3 construction sites within the vicinity. Namely, the Al
Ghurair Properties, the Al Ahmadiah Mankhool Project and the
BurJuman Centre.
It was an enlightening and joyful experience for both the students and
the teachers. The challenges the workers faced to build something that
they weren’t going to own or live in was something we have to
appreciate. The smile on their tired faces when the rice and the caps
were given to them by the students just lit up our day. (I won’t deny we
had fun in the travelling too!) We look forward to more such
oppurtunities. After this, I don’t think any of us would be complaining
that it is too hot in class!
