How did they start?
As a group of IKNS students sat down with the notion of making a difference, an idea popped into their minds! It was unheard of and unique as it had the possibility of changing people’s lives beyond their academic agenda during school. In addition, as young ambassadors of Ibn Khuldoon National School, inspired by His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa. Representative of his majesty King Hamad for Charity Works and Youth Affairs, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Humanitarian Foundation. They aimed to become a helping hand to society, the people, and the country that raised them. This is how their story and their beautiful quest began!
Team Nasser is a student-led initiative that started in 2019 with 12 students from Grades 9 to 12. These students were united by a mission; a mission to contribute, help and unite the most vulnerable individuals in the Bahraini community.
Their first project!
The first team project was a house of a single father with 6 children. Despite the father’s best efforts to provide a sound and comfortable home for his children, his financial situation was a hindrance; allowing for the most basic provisions within the four walls of a deteriorating structure. In one small room, devoid of air-conditioning, scratched walls surrounded bed frames with no mattresses that were shared by his six children. The living room was found in a similar state; empty, bare with only a small sofa alone in the corner of the room. This was a house but not a home. This was an experience that could not be ignored or neglected. After widening the perspective of the team members, they assessed the situation and devised a solution to upgrade the family’s living conditions.
These youngsters are doing their best to help those in need, so inspiring! Help them out by buying some National Day goods at either fundraiser location!
Building a happier life for those amongst us!
