Sponsored Walk for Palestine

*THE DATE HAS CHANGED TO 4TH FEBRUARY*

Would you like to support Palestine and also help your children connect to its history? Let us help each other to do our part. 

The situation in Palestine is dire and many people feel hopeless and helpless. Barakah Madrassa have put together a sponsored Walk for Palestine aimed at families to do our part and make a difference through our fundraising, awareness and staying informed about the human catastrophe taking place in Palestine for the past two months.

We welcome you to join us for a sponsored Walk for Palestine in High Hazels Park this Sunday 21st January. We will have four stations symbolising four cities and a planned route. Each station will have historical facts, and you will follow a History Hunt learning about Palestine. We will also have snacks and treats available at our four stations. It will be fun, informative family learning experience.

You can start donating by sharing this with your contacts https://campaigns.givebrite.com/fundraiser/charity-walk and asking them to clearly state your children's names.
