We had a lovely day at Manchester museum as part of the Journeys Festival. The theme was Refugee Journey and celebrating artwork, music, creativity and culture of refugee activists. Our kite-making workshops were extremely busy and it was great to see so many Syrian families turn up.
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, in cooperation with Cheadle mosque, organised a seminar about educating children in the Syrian crisis, delivered by Dr Mohamed Kara Mohamed and Dr Mustafa AlKhalaf on 29 November. The Cheadle community pledged another £20K this year for the educational project of Syria Relief.
RR in cooperation with Syria relief took the opportunity of Manchester BUPA run on Saturday 17th May for fund raising for school projects inside Syria. The amount of money collected from this event was £8811.
