The Sixth Annual Back to School Campaign ran from August 14 to September 18 2017. The campaign supports the University’s neighbors in Thuwal and Qadimah by providing essential school supplies to local children to start the year off with the right equipment. KAUST community members supported the campaign by purchasing gift cards from venues around the campus, or by volunteering to help assemble the school kits, publicize the effort and distribute the school kits to children at their schools in Thuwal. The campaign was organized by Social Responsibility and is part of the Young Learners’ Development Program (YLDP). Over 150 volunteers from the KAUST community helped assemble school bags and supplies for the children and delivered them to 700 local students.
Social Responsibility thanks The KAUST School (TKS) teachers and students for their additional support of the program this year as well as the fantastic volunteers and all those that contributed to the campaign.
