In our 2024/2025 year, we were fortunate enough to raise almost $80,000 and hand-deliver aid directly to families in Lebanon🇱🇧 And now, we’re doing it again‼️ In August 2027, in partnership with Human Appeal REACH, our executive team will be going on deployment to Lebanon to support our Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian brothers and sisters who are orphaned, displaced, and living in life-threatening conditions🇱🇧🇸🇾🇵🇸 This year, we will also be raising these funds in memory of Omar Barzak, a previous executive of our club and someone who made a lasting impact on London and the global community. Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing milestones toward our $103,500 goal and hosting events this summer to raise funds for Lebanon Also, during the months of July and August, we have secured a donation matching program through Reach for Palestine🇵🇸, where every dollar we raise through our PALESTINE fund will be matched towards our Lebanon deployment. This will help provide food, water, fuel, and essential items to families facing unimaginable hardship in Gaza. Our target this summer is $15,000 for Palestine🇵🇸. Should we raise the most in Canada, the cost of one deployment will be reduced from the overall fund, making it easier for you to help us help them! Please donate, share, and support our journey as we work to raise $103,500 for Lebanon and break our previous fundraising record🙏 Let’s make history together and raise the standard for what a student club can achieve in one year!

Our dear brother and friend, Omar Barzak, brother to @leenbarzak our lovely Vice President, has passed away leaving us with a profound sense of loss. His departure is not only a personal tragedy but also an enormous loss for our community. Omar was an integral part of this club and its success. As the former VP of Events and CRO, he brought a unique, kind, and welcoming energy. He did more than just organize events; he created an environment where all Arabs at Western could find a second home. Omar made this club a family, and his warm spirit and bright smile have left an incredible mark on us all. As you scroll down our page, you will see the essence of Omar’s genuinely kind and warm spirit. His laughter, humour, and joy, so vivid in these memories, will continue to inspire us and will be deeply missed. We ask that you keep Omar and his family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Making dua for him and, if you are able, contributing to his Sadaqa Jariya through the link in our bio are the best things we can do for him. إنا لله و إنا إليه راجعون الله يرحمه ويغفر له ويجعله من أهل الجنة 🤲🏼 We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. May Allah have mercy on him, forgive him, and make him among the people of Paradise 🤲🏼🤍 by @asaatwestern
