We would like to highlight the amazing efforts of some of our students for their aid and support towards the Turkey/Syria Earthquake Appeal. Dila K (10ERU) enlisted the help of Amara, Lena, Chloe E, Marina, Elifnaz, Yasemin, Emma and Claudia from her tutor group to volunteer at a local Fundraising Event to raise money for the Earthquake Appeal. They hosted an origami stall where they taught children under the age of 12 how to make origami. They devised a workshop which included storytelling, where they taught participants about the meaning of a thousand cranes and the story behind them. We are so proud of their efforts and for giving up their time for such an important cause. The event was a huge success and raised more than £11,000. A journalist from the local newspaper was in attendance and showed a real interest in our wonderful students and commended them for their kindness and community spirit. Further to this, Dila K and Lina AK accompanied by Ms Rustam were invited to a Royal Engagement at Hayes Muslim Centre where they met TRH Prince and Princess of Wales! The event was held to raise awareness of the DEC’s Turkey-Syria appeal and engage local communities that have been supporting this appeal. Dila and Lina spoke with Prince William and Princess Kate about what they did to help raise money at the recent fundraising event at St Stephen’s school. Dila and Lina also guided the royal couple on making their own origami cranes!
