The eighth annual Back to School Campaign, supporting schoolchildren in Thuwal and Qadimah has had a great start with the efforts of the KAUST Community in preparing the Back to School backpacks.
The second phase of the campaign is providing sports uniform for every student in Grade 7 to 12, in Thuwal and Qadimah. If you would like to donate a uniform, they are available for purchase at the sports shop in Harbor Recreation.
We are planning a calendar of sporting activities for Thuwal and Qadimah students to take place in KAUST recreation centers and in Thuwal schools. Please register your interest if you would like to volunteer with these events, so this can be factored into our planning.
The Back to School Campaign is part of the Social Responsibility Young Learners Development Program (YLDP) and represents one of the many ways in which KAUST is giving back to its neighbors. YLDP aims to improve learning environments and educational outcomes for students by working with our local community partners to ensure needs are being met for maximum impact in the classroom and beyond. KAUST Social Responsibility is a department of Saudi Affairs.
