Solihull Sunday School 10 point plan

The Solihull Sunday School (www.solihullsundayschool.org.uk) has been running for a number of years and we currently have over 300 students who study Islamic Studies, Arabic, Urdu, Bangla and Quran. We teach from infant school age all the way through to GCSE.

The following video was designed to help improve the school by providing 10 top tips for parents. The idea was by implementing this video we would transform the school from being not just any school but to become a ‘Super Duper School’. Click here to watch the video.

Kilimanjaro Trek – the training

In July 2009, three members of the Solihull Muslim community, Sameer, Asad and Marwan, took on the challenge of climbing mount Kilimanjaro for charity, to raise funds for children of war in Gaza. As the highest point in Africa, this challenge was to prove to be quite a tall feat and naturally required a lot of training.

In this video Marwan and Asad commence their training routine, however what is unusual here is that it’s not just any training, it’s training Rocky style! Click here to watch the video.

Kilimanjaro Trek – the climb

The mission was successful and the result of the climb was that between Sameer, Asad and Marwan, raised over £17,000 between them. The team are very grateful to all those who contributed to the cause and we hope it will go toward alleviating the suffering of the people of Gaza.

This video captures the key moments of the trek, from the preparation in the hotel, to the last year steps before reaching the summit, to the long trip back down. Click here to watch the video.
