Aila's pledge · 13 June 2018

Our schools are 100% free for disadvantaged children. Our pupils follow a broad-based curriculum, with emphasis on learning international languages and IT. Our aim is to enable children to become world citizens and resist religious extremism. Both English and modern Arabic are taught at the schools, skills which will open up work opportunities to the students both at home and overseas, reflecting our mission statement of eradicating poverty at its root. We employ fully qualified graduate teachers and the children are taught following the Oxford University course.The schools provide a free cooked meal, uniform, books and stationery. We are entirely dependent on charitable donations by way of Zakat, Sadaqah, Lillaha or Fitra. To sponsor a child costs just ~ 83 p day which equates to £25 per month i.e.£300 per annum.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Aila's JustGiving page.

I pledged £1000 towards Superhands Charity.

I have visited some of these schools in Pakistan and:

  1. opened a computer lab
  2. met the staff & children
  3. made suggestions to improve the class room decor
  4. had school lunch with staff & pupils. BTW it was yummy.

These kids are from disadvantaged backgrounds and some are orphans. I noticed each child was happy to be at school and were very well behaved. They respect the teachers,, each othe and there is no bullying (I have asked Nana Abu and Funny Nana Abu). I love my school, but some girls are not very nice. They brag about their iphones and do not understand the value of money. This annoys me because I wish I could show them how luck we all are.

I have been:

  • saving my pocket money (it costs less than 83p per day for one child to be schooled by Superhands Charity)
  • working hard selling Krispy Kreme donuts at Edgbaston High School for Girls.  Teachers and pupils have been supporting me.

Can you help too? I don't have any online donuts  but if you live near me I can bake you something :). I will be selling more at school but would appreciate help from you beautiful people.

Love Aila x
