The opening of Musab bin Omair School on 9 May 2019

Founded in 2003 in the center of Raqqa city, Musab bin Amir School is named after the companion of the prophet , Musab bin Amir, who was killed in the Battle of Ohod, and is a relatively large school, currently with 2,200 students, and built to be a supplement to the Al-Buhtary school, which was founded in the 1960s.

Me and my school project targeted the school of Musab bin Omair because of the moral and material destruction it suffered from during the war ,the school was closed until early 2018. The number of students dropped by about 200 students .

Me and my school project provided 19 school benches to the replace the shattered ones in classrooms, one of the teachers’ chairs and tables also was replaced, 1 board was maintained and a set of stationary and chalk was provided. The school was also provided with a children’s entertainment group, a billboard and a cleaning group, as well as 2 trash baskets and 2 garbage cans.

In order to communicate effectively with the beneficiaries of the project, “Me and My School” team met the parents of the students and school teachers on 9 may 2019 who demanded to repair the bathrooms and equip them with water tanks, as well as unify students’ clothing and provide teaching aids, school books, computers and a projector.

“Me and My School” is a project launched by GAV Relief and Development Organization on 20 March 2019 and aims to create a favorable environment for the residents and children of Raqqa city and the area of al-Qahtaniyah in the countryside to engage in the educational process in a coordinated and orderly manner, and encourage the displaced people to return to their towns and villages , As part of the organization’s plan to respond to the needs of the educational sector in the regions of north-eastern Syria.

“Me and my School” project responds to the service requirements of 37 schools in Raqqa and its countryside which are among the most affected by the war that destroyed schools and exposed classes, fences and benches to harm, hindering the progress of the educational process in its desired form, and prevent children from having access to a suitable and appropriate educational environment after the security has returned proportionally to the liberated areas.
