Doha: The Gulf English School’s Charity Action Team (CHAT), led by supervisor Ulrike Jones and President Haya Al Waleed Al Thani, launched a fundraising bake sale in the Primary and Secondary school to help raise awareness for cancer.
Established in 2009 by caring students, who are determined to make a change towards the lives of the less-fortunate, CHAT is a non-profit charity team that has had many successes in fundraising for global and local charities. This year CHAT decided to host weekly fundraising events throughout the whole month of October.
Starting off with a ‘non-uniform day’ throughout the infant unit to high school, students were highly encouraged to wear pink or blue. Assemblies in all sections of the school were aimed at teaching the students all about the illness and the success doctors and scientists are now achieving in the battle against cancer. The event reached new limits and was an enormous success for the school.
CHAT ended the month with the sale of all and everything that is pink! Bracelets, teddy bears, T-Shirts and a fashion show for the girls and a football tournament for the boys; raising a total of QR27,990.
