The Apple International School, Dubai Sub: COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT PROGRAMME TRIP TO SRI LANKA
5th November 2017
Dear Parents, The Community Programme of our school, has been encouraging our students to reach out to the society. We have been actively involved in various social programs like collecting stationary material for schools in developing countries, participating in the World Food Day, visiting local labour camps to give out donations, fund raising, collecting books, uniform and used clothes for distribution in village schools. After several successful Community initiatives we would like to go a step further and introduce our students to Intern ational Community Service. This programme is an initiative which will add value to our students’ personal portfolios towards becoming global citizens. We have planned to go to Sri Lanka in December. •

We will be spending a day at an Orphanage in Sri Lanka – interacting with students. The orphanage is established to provide shelter to Tsunami victims and street children in Sri Lanka, regardless of their caste or creed.

We will then be visiting the Kandy Hospital and spend time visiting the wards and interacting with doctors, patients and staff. We have been supporting the Kandy Hospital fund raisers through the Sri Lankan Consulate in Dubai.
Besides this we have included sightseeing and leisure time to be spent in the beautiful country. At the end of the programme every student will be provided a letter and certificate for their role in the International Community Service.
