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

This elementary school was founded in 1976 in Hawi Al-Hawa village, north-west of Raqqa, which is located on the bank of Euphrates river and is known for its fresh air. The school went out of service in 2013, and was reopened in 2017 after the defeat of ISIS in that region. It has now about 550 students at the elementary classes.

The Project of “Me and My School 2″ targeted Hawi Al-Hawa school  in the campaign of distributing 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 have been cut off until 2017, and on 30/09/2019 the project staff distributed 487 bags to the students in their classrooms after giving them some candy.

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. It is a continuation of the “Me and My School” project launched by GAV for Relief and Development on March 20, 2019, and aims to create the right environment for the families and children of Raqqa city and Al-Qahtaniya area of the province countryside to engage in the educational process in a coordinated and orderly manner, and encourage the return to their liberated towns and villages which is a part of the organization’s plan to respond to the needs of the education sector in north-eastern Syria.
