Bekasi – January 2024
At the beginning of the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year, Al Siddiq International Primary School held a solidarity event for Palestine on Monday, 8 January 2024. The event, which took place on the third floor of Al Siddiq School, was also attended by all Kindergarten and Secondary students.
In collaboration with Adara Relief International, the programme included storytelling and donation collection activities. The story, delivered by Fatmah Ayudia A., S.Ag, was titled “Al Aqsa and the Blessed Land”, narrating the stories of the Prophets in the land of Sham and the history of Masjid Al-Aqsa in relation to the Isra’ and Mi’raj event.
The students were highly enthusiastic, especially during the question-and-answer session, where those who answered correctly received prizes from Adara. As an expression of solidarity with the people of Palestine, the teachers also organised a fundraising campaign involving both students and parents.
Alhamdulillah, from the fundraising effort that began on Saturday, 6 January, a total of Rp 5,740,000 was collected and channelled through Adara. The event concluded with prayers and heartfelt hopes from the students for Palestine to be freed from the oppression of Zionist Israel, which has occupied the land of the Prophets for decades. []
