Innovative
ideas include donating a day’s salary, branded scarves & flags, suhoor
event and electronic fundraising
In a heartwarming gesture, Sharjah
Ladies Club (SLC) is showing its motherly and sisterly side to Syrian refugees
by launching a diverse range of fundraising activities. This will greatly benefit
the ‘Big Heart for Syrian Refugee Children’ campaign, which is spearheaded by
the ‘Big Heart’, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, UNHCR
Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children.
The activities include
encouraging employees to donate a day’s salary, a suhoor charity event, selling
branded scarves and flags, and many other innovative fundraising activities
that will alleviate the suffering of almost a million Syrian children who are
now refugees in countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and as far as North
African countries like Libya.
Announcing the activities, Amna
Al Shanasi, Managing Director of the SLC said: “Sharjah Ladies Club has a
reputation for attracting ambitious ladies who have a fresh way of thinking,
and we are now putting together our imaginative spirits and compassion to
lessen the suffering of innocent young angels who have no homes, no country and
no rights. The inspirational efforts of HH Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al
Qasimi, UNHCR Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children, have motivated us to
explore extraordinary ideas as opposed to ordinary fundraising channels.”
Expressing her appreciation
for the SLC’s generous fundraising support, Noura Al
Noman, Director of the Executive Office of Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint
Mohammed Al Qasimi said: “Syrian children now know that they will always have
loving sisters and mothers in Sharjah. They might be separated by many miles
and borders, but Sharjah Ladies Club has shown that our hearts beat as one in
support of these defenseless victims.”
According to Shaima Obaid,
the SLC’s E-Marketing Executive, the Eastern and Central branches of the SLC
have come together and tabled a range of creative activities that are geared to
raise the highest possible funds for almost 2 million Syrian refugees. As part
of its forward-thinking approach to fundraising, the SLC is marketing all its activities
electronically via social media platforms.
Besides the actual funds
generated, another massive ripple effect of the SLC’s activities is that they
are also raising awareness among the Sharjah populace, thereby creating many
potential donors in a domino effect of generosity.
Donors can make life-saving contributions to the ‘Big Heart for Syrian
Refugee Children’ campaign. Funds are collected through ‘Salam Ya Seghar’,
endorsed by HH Sheikha Jawaher.
