al jalila foundation

We had the honor of visiting the Al Jalila Foundation, where our Pink Day funds were donated last month, to proudly witness our school’s name engraving on the Bassmat Rashid Bin Saeed wall of recognition!!

The new community center at Al Jalila is a community center open to women who are diagnosed with cancer, undergoing treatment or are cancer warriors, where mental, physical and emotional support are offered free of charge.

Here are a few photos!

We will be collecting uniforms you may wish to donate from November 7-21, and will be holding a sale at our Winter Bazaar on December 5.
