Hargeisa (SL Times) - Chris Hassan, a British teacher at Endeavour High School in Hull, Yorkshire country, has handed over $3362 to Hargeisa Group Hospital’s Committee. The money was donated by the Endeavour school children for the children’s ward in the Hargeisa Group Hospital.
Mr. Hassan came first to Hargeisa last February, and it was during that trip that he visited the Group Hospital, the only public medical facility in the town. Upon his return to England the same month, Hassan saw a documentary film on Hargeisa Group Hospital aired by BBC1 Television.
In March, Hassan started a fund raising campaign at his school and returned earlier this month to Somaliland with $3362 collected from Hull’s Endeavour school children. The target of the campaign is to raise $15000, with the money planned to be spent on covering some of the basic needs of the children’s ward in the hospital.
Chris’s father, Hassan, immigrated into Britain from Somaliland in 1937. Hassan never came back to his country of origin. Chris left Hargeisa Thursday, on his way back to England, after re-establishing his family roots in Somaliland.
