Funds Needed towards Educational Camp for Heideveld Learners

Assalamu alaykum

 

We, the Nurul Islam Education Forum, hereby humbly request a donation towards funding our Initiatives.  Before we elaborate on these initiatives and future programmes, let me introduce ourselves.

The Nurul Islam Education Forum (NIEF) has been established for the purpose of improving the education levels amongst Muslim Youth in Heideveld. We are directly affiliated to the Nurul Islam mosque registered as the Heideveld Madrassah and Cultural Society (HMCS), working hand in hand with them in order to re-ignite the Islamic consciousness of the youth in the area.  NIEF comprise of energetic individuals  the majority of whom  are  educators,  teaching at various WCED and Islamic schools in Cape Town ,as well as  community members, the Imams and Committee members each  contributing  their wealth of experience in their varied fields of expertise. We all originate from Heideveld and surroundings and want to use this platform to plough back into our community.
 
Furthermore we are committed to continuously develop into a dynamic forum, promoting social cohesion through educationally enriching activities, whilst striving   towards becoming religiously progressive society.

One of our most recent accolades, taking into consideration that NIEF has only been existence for a few months is our first ever very successful Islamic Quiz held with the Madrassah learners recently.  The outcome has impressed the Editorial leadership of Muslim Views so much, that it made front page headlines with the title: Youth Inspire us All. A second article was published on page 3 of the (November 2012 issue) under the heading: What an Inspiration.  This has surely not only impacted positively on the youth but the community as a whole.

 

Our first initiative for 2013 is a youth leadership camp which will be held at Van Der Westhuizen Hostel situated in Strandfontein from the 15^th to 17^th February 2013. The cost of the camp is R10 000 hosting 60 youth.  We would therefore be very grateful for any donations toward the funding of the event.
