Three inspired and caring students from Universal School in Bridgeview were motivated to work together to help those in need, forming the Syrian Orphan Project, which began this year. Tenth grade students Ms. Tessneem Shahbandar, Ms. Nour Jaghama and Ms. Sara Shahein, members of the IMAN-DAWA club (ID Club) spearheaded a fundraising effort for orphans in need with the original goal of $1000. Amazingly, they were actually able to collect $21,213 in a period of only one month, with outstanding support from fellow students, administration and faculty. May Allah reward everyone who contributed to this outstanding achievement. Below are a few pictures:
