Al Qalam Academy, based at the Hedgecock Community Centre, along with many schools across London got involved in the little heroes fundraising campaign organised by Lonely Orphans, a UK based charity in Whitechapel London.
The pupils of the educational supplementary school in Barking & Dagenham decided to fundraise to support young people like themselves who face hardships and uncertainty.
The Little Heroes project aims to raise money for Rohingya refugee children in Bangladesh and Uyghur refugee children in Turkey.
Many of the children are either Orphans or have parents who have been detained in detention centres and prison.
Al Qalam along with many schools across London got involved in the little heroes fundraising campaign organised by Lonely Orphans, a uk based charity in Whitechapel London.
The children received goody bags and medals for the top 3 fundraisers in gold, silver, bronze order.
Fundraising manager Md Imran said, “I’m very happy to see how passionate the children were this year across school and study clubs in London. Great credit goes to the teachers and management team. I hope that they will continue to support important causes like these and help support a better life for these children.”
