Distribution of school bags and tools to the students of al-Hamidi school

Al-Hamidi Primary School was founded in 2006 and is named after the village of Al-Hamidi itself, which bears the name of the village’s grandfather as belonging to one grandfather, Al-Hamidi. 

The school consists of a three-to-four-room building with 100 students, most of them are villagers, and the school returned to receive children from grades 1 to 3 in 2018 after being liberated from ISIS.

The project of “Me and My School 2” targeted al-Hamidi school in the campaign to distribute bags and school tools in order to reduce the expenses of education that may burden the parents of students, as well as to encourage children to return to school after they were cut off until 2018, and on 11/11/2019 the project staff distributed 108 bags to students after having some sweets provided by the organization’s team.

“Me and My School 2” is a project that aims to provide students in 13 schools in Raqqa city and its countryside with school bags and tools to meet their basic educational needs. Launched on 20 March 2019 by GAV for Relief and Development, my school is a continuation of the “Me and My School” project, which aims to create the right environment for the families and children of Al-Raqqa and Al-Qahtaniyah area of the governorate countryside to engage in the educational process in a coordinated and orderly manner, and to encourage the return of displaced persons to their liberated towns and villages, as part of the organization’s plan to respond to the needs of the education sector in north-eastern Syria.

The first phase of the project included a service response to 37 schools among the most affected by the war in Raqqa and its countryside by maintaining its blackboards and providing its classrooms with seats, tables, chairs, stationery, chalk and children’s entertainment sets, as well as providing schools with billboards, trash cans and garbage containers.
