3rd Annual Al Fatih Academy Refugee Apartment Setup with KindWorks

Date: January 23, 2020

KindWorks invites the Al Fatih Academy community to prepare an apartment for an Afghan family on Thursday, January 23. The family, with their 2yr old son, will receive support services through Ethiopian Community Development Council.

We invite you to join us as we transform an empty apartment into fully furnished, warm and welcoming home for them. The Al Fatih Academy 8th Grade class will do the fun, physical work of unloading the truck, arranging the furniture, organizing the bedrooms and kitchen, putting together and making beds, laying out toys, and hanging art. This is the 3rd year that Al Fatih Academy has supported a newly arriving refugee family with KindWorks! Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun!**

KindWorks appreciates the whole Al Fatih Academy community’s participation! Thank you for donating good, dignity quality furniture and furnishings. Any monetary funds donated will be used to directly support this apartment setup with KindWorks’ Home Setup program.

All items should be in good, dignity condition: clean, unstained, and 100% pet-hair-, cobweb- and smoke-free. Thank you for vacuuming large furniture items and all rugs prior to donation.

Please bring your donations to Al Fatih Academy before 2pm on Wednesday, Jan 22.

Please email Alexa at aabdelatey@earthlink.net or call/text (540) 538-9696 at any time in the process if you have questions.

Many, many thanks!

In peace,

Alexa Abdelatey, KindWorks Home Setup Coordinator & Former AFA parent
