Students of Brighton College Abu Dhabi held a concert on Monday to express solidarity with Palestinian children in their everyday struggle for quality education.
Titled ‘Pencils for Palestine’, the concert featured popular global favourites such as Heal the World and Man in the Mirror that resonated with the theme of man’s empathy for the suffering of fellow human beings.
As part of the event, every child in the school was asked to fill a decorated gift box with stationery items, a small toy or toys and other essential items. In addition, funds were raised through the sale of tickets for the concert, and retailing merchandise, mugs, bracelets and Tt-shirts at the venue.
A raffle draw that gave away valuable prizes also raised thousands of dirhams.
The gift boxes and proceeds raised have been handed over to the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) to distribute to the children of Palestine.
Jo Vigneron, headmistress of pre-prep school at Brighton College, said: “In enabling children to ‘Be the change they want to see’, we seek to engage them in meaningful activities that allow them to empathise with the suffering of those less privileged, especially in war-torn areas. This initiative conveys a message of peace from the children of Abu Dhabi to the children of Palestine that through the power of learning we can together make the world a better place to live in.”
Located adjacent to Khalifa Park, Brighton College Abu Dhabi offers British curriculum to pupils from ages three to 18 years. The college comprises three separate schools — the Pre-prep school, Prep school and Senior school — in one purpose-built campus adjacent to the Ministries Complex.
