Distribution of school bags and tools to students of Hawi Al-Hawa School

Founded in 1997, Hawi Al-Hawa al-Sharqiyah School had 250 students, and it is named after the air and the fresh breeze that characterizes the region. The school reopened in 2018 after the area was liberated from ISIS and currently more than 200 students studying there.

The project of “Me and My School 2” targeted Hawi Al-Hawa al-Sharqiyah 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, and on 11/11/2019 the project staff distributed 473 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.
