My heart goes to people of Nepal where terrible earthquake has shattered many lives .On 25th April, 2015 this massive earthquake had killed more than 9,000 people and injured more than twice and hundreds of thousands of people were made homeless with entire villages flattened. Many are struggling to survive without food, shelter or clean drinking water. The most affected are the poor communities who lost their homes. The international aid agencies are facing challenges in both getting assistance to Nepal and reaching remote areas.

?We Choose to Care? is the motto of our school and translate this into actions that make a difference that?s why I am proud to be a student of The Millennium School, Dubai. My school started a charity drive to help people of Nepal where the donations of any amount in cash were accepted. All of the school community including teachers got together to collect funds to help victims in the quake hit region.

Students came up with innovative voluntary campaigns to collect funds like ?Save Nepal Football League? where students contributed AED 50/- to participate .Click for Nepal? (selfie competition) campaign where students had to take selfies with the caption ?#Save Nepal? and contributed AED 20/- to participate. Points based on creativity were given by the panel of judges in selfie competition and the top 5 entries will be awarded and their entries will be displayed on the Annual Prize Day. I could say that the campaign was a huge hit

On 21st May, 2015 our school handed over a collected amount in a cheque of AED 96,285/- to the UAE Red Crescent who are actively involved in the relief operations in Nepal.

We are with the people of Nepal during this tough time and generosity shown by community will go a long way in helping those affected.
