Well done to our heroes for participating in the Great Manchester Run on 21 May to raise money for Iqraa school in alsahharin Syria. This year we raised a record of over £23,000.
An exhibition on the experiences of parents and children in the Syrian conflict was put together by our community member Aala Elkhani. Rethink Rebuild served as a partner for this event.
Some of our community members, including over twenty children, took part in the Great Manchester Run on 9 and 10 May. Our brave participants ran for Syria and raised over £17,000 for the Iqraa school which is fully funded by the Syrian community of Manchester and their friends.
It in never late to donate for this great cause:
Chilling article poses statistics on education for Syrian children. This bleak reality is what makes our education project at RR so important:
-Over 2.8 million children out of school
-At least a quarter of schools in Syria have been damaged or destroyed, occupied by displaced families or used for military purposes
RR organised a bag-packing fundraiser for Syria Relief at ASDA Hulme on 27 and 28 December.
The total amount of money collected from the event was £2356 which will help the educational projects inside Syria.
