School Kit Fundraiser Update and Call for Volunteers

Thank you for your donations to the School Kit Fundraiser so far! During Ramadan the KAUST community raised 6000 SR. The generosity was so great that Tamimi temporarily ran out of vouchers!

For the second round, we are expanding the campaign to include neighboring schools in the village of Qadimah in addition to Thuwal. If you didn’t have a chance to contribute the first time, you can now.

Contributing is easy:
From Saturday, September 1 until Saturday, September 8
1. Visit any Tamimi on campus
2. Purchase a Tamimi fundraising voucher to the value of 50 or 100 SAR
3. Place it in the donation box at the counter

Your donated vouchers will be used to create back-to-school kits for Thuwal and Qadimah children. The kits will contain much needed school basics such as pens, pencils, and notebooks, all packaged in a high-quality school bag (the bags are donated by KAUST.) Then the kits will be assembled and delivered by KAUST volunteers.

Interested in Volunteering?

If you would like to help assemble the school bags, volunteers are needed on Tuesday, September 4 between 3:00 and 8:00 p.m. We are looking for a maximum of 20 volunteers, so don’t delay in signing up! Click here to sign up for a specific time slot.

These spaces may fill up quickly – if you miss the opportunity to volunteer this time don’t worry, there will be more opportunities to volunteer through the Social Responsibility Initiative in the coming future.
