Syria’s civil war is headline news. All of us will have seen footage of it on television or online, read about it in thepapers or listened to reports on the radio. Many of us will have thought we’d like to do something to help the children and families trapped in the war, or who have been forced to flee it.

INTO Giving is doing something about it.INTO Giving, I hasten to add, is all of us together.

This time, during the Halloween season, wewould like to share with you this opportunity of helping the Syrian schoolchildren with INTO. To do so, there will be a donation box located in INTO Office, where you can make donations.

Please notice that, there is no limit of donation, every kuai/jiao/fen you would like to give shows your kindness to the children. As always, every penny raised for or donated to INTO Giving will be matched by INTO Giving’s Chairman, penny for penny, pound for pound, dollar for dollar. As resource limited, only cash will be accepted this time, and the fund will be transferred directly to where it is needed. By the end of the programme, we will publish a report on our public wechat platform of where the money has gone and how it is spent.

To find INTO China DUFE public wechat, you can either search INTOChinaDUFE as a public account, or scan the QR code here

Appreciated to your kindly support andtrust in us. For any question, please feel free to let INTO office know.

Support for Syrian refugee schoolchildren

This year, INTO Giving is donating £8,500($11,000 US dollars) to support refugee Syrian schoolchildren at the Jusoor School in Beirut.  

Through supporting INTO Giving, you are helping Jusoor School move to larger premises, thus growing the number of schoolchildren helped from 215 to 350.  

The new school is in the Nowayri neighbourhood of Beirut. INTO Giving is completely renovating the schoolbuilding – its seven classrooms, six bathrooms, kitchen, hallways, stairwells and walls, electricity, water, and the 300 metre playground.

The new Jusoor School will also have a new computer lab, with twelve laptops and 50 tablets, and a library. Renovation begins in summer 2016, and will be completed this autumn.

Why it’s important

More than one million schoolchildren are among the countless people and families who have fled from the Syria Civil Warto Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq.

Although 400,000 Syrian refugee children in Lebanon are school-aged, most – 310,000, in fact – are not in school. For these children, school provides not just education, but some sense of normality,support and hope.  

Of the 350 children who will attend the new Jusoor School, most are aged just six-to-eight-years-old.

Picture a Jusoor School classroom, with 30 or 40 children at desks paid for by a fundraising event, big or small, that you have put together; seated on chairs that you’re running a 10K or a marathon to help buy; and using laptops and reading books bought with proceeds from your charity day. 

As always, every penny raised for or donated to INTO Giving will be matched by INTO Giving’s Chairman, penny for penny, pound for pound, dollar for dollar.
