International Student Centre staffer Amal Jammali is raising funds toward a volunteer abroad experience helping to build schools and homes in South Africa.
It has been a dream of Amal Jammali to apply her time, energy, and passion to make a difference for those in need. Now the international student advisor is on the brink of making her dream come true.
Jammali is planning a trip to South Africa under Islamic Relief’s Inspire volunteer abroad program to support a project focused on rehabilitating schools and homes, providing clean water, education materials, and training for teachers.
To participate, she must raise $3,500 towards the charity’s work to empower vulnerable individuals and communities and engage with orphan children.
“It has been a lifelong dream of mine to actively help a reputable agency in hopes of making a genuine difference in the world and contributing to humanitarian efforts,” says Jammali.
Her volunteer activities will range from providing psychosocial support and educational activities to orphaned children to assisting with home rehabilitation and distributing food and hygiene items.
“I am seeking the support of campus friends and colleagues,” Jammali says. “All donations are tax deductible.”
