Our Universal Islamic Value for the month of March is benevolence, and as a school community we plan to embrace the Pillar of Zakat during this holiest of months in order to instil a joy of giving in all our students. As such we will be starting Ramadan by promoting the following charitable causes and will launch some further initiatives as the month progresses We thank you all in advance for your support of these

Zakat at KGIS

1 Food and Gift Packages for the Underprivileged

As a school we will prepare and distribute food and small gift packages to underprivileged families and groups in the local community during the week commencing Sunday 26 March. Food packages will be distributed to needy families, and gift packages will be distributed to a local orphanage, and to child cancer patients at SQU Hospital. We therefore ask students and parents to contribute dry or tinned food items, small gifts or books for children (new condition), and toiletry items. We can also accept monetary donations which will be used to purchase food items. Students should bring their donations to their Homeroom Teacher from Sunday 19 March to Thursday 23 March. There will be House Points for the Homeroom Group that collects the most items!
