2023 Summer Camp recap

Highlights of the Hafsa Girls Club 2023 Summer Camp

The Hafsa Girls Club 2023 Summer Camp was an unforgettable journey filled with growth, fun, and lasting memories. This year’s camp brought together a diverse group of girls eager to connect, learn, and embrace new opportunities. The central themes of sisterhood, fellowship, and learning created a unique environment for the girls to bond, explore new ideas, and celebrate culture and community.

Field Trips and Exploration
The camp’s standout feature was the field trips, which took the girls beyond the usual camp activities. Visits to local museums, historical sites, and natural wonders broadened their perspectives and sparked curiosity. These experiences provided educational moments that extended beyond the campgrounds.

Building Sisterhood and Fellowship
At the heart of the camp was the strong bond of sisterhood. The girls supported each other, worked as teams, and formed lasting connections. This sense of fellowship created an inclusive atmosphere where everyone felt valued and empowered to be themselves.

Personal Growth and Learning
Throughout the camp, the girls engaged in activities that promoted personal growth, such as workshops on self-confidence, leadership, emotional intelligence, and communication. They also learned about global cultures, traditions, and values, helping them appreciate diversity and expand their worldviews.

Cultural Appreciation and Connection
The camp encouraged cultural learning through arts, crafts, cooking, music, and storytelling. These activities allowed the girls to explore different cultures, fostering respect and empathy for one another’s backgrounds while promoting the beauty of cultural exchange and togetherness.

In summary, the Hafsa Girls Club 2023 Summer Camp was a transformative experience that empowered the girls, fostering sisterhood, personal growth, and an appreciation for diversity.

Food drive


On November 24, 2024, Hafsa Girls Club, in collaboration with other organizations in Houston, Texas, successfully organized a food drive that made a meaningful impact on our community. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all who supported this initiative with their generous donations. Thanks to your kindness, we were able to collect a significant amount of food and supplies, including turkeys, rice, cooking oil, canned beans, tuna, and more, all of which went directly to those in need.

With your help, we provided food for over 80 families, offering them nourishment and hope during this season. The success of this event highlights the power of collaboration and community spirit. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and look forward to future opportunities to work together again. Thank you for making a difference!

With sincere gratitude,
Hafsa Girls Club

Summer Camp 2019 Recap!

As we prepare for the 2020 HAFSA GIRLS CLUB SUMMER CAMP, we take a moment to remember the great memories of the 2019 SUMMER CAMP.

We had many amazing girls that participated in our free six weeks camp. New friendships were forged, bonds created, and many life lessons learnt.

 Our goofy science projects were amazing. We made bath bombs, learnt how to inflate balloons with recycled plastic bottles. We used liquid solutions to inflate and maintain air in balloons, and also made beautiful slimes amongst many others.

Our arts and crafts were fantastic. The girls made paper flowers, soft toys from yarn, origami, karaoke and other cool activities. Every day, we read and memorized the Holy Quran (Suratul Hujurat) and some Hadiths; we discussed social, moral and intellectual issues like personal hygiene, bullying, confidence building, total trust in God, overcoming peer pressure amongst many others.

Team bonding

We engaged in many team bonding activities, Zumba dance with instructor, field trips to the cinema, indoor swimming, ice skating and funny but educative trivia questions. For example,

QUESTION          In South Dakota, it is illegal to fall and sleep where?

ANSWER              In a cheese factory.

QUESTION          What ailment disturbs a fruit fly?

ANSWER              Constipation.

QUESTION          In California, you cannot legally buy a mousetrap without having a what?

ANSWER              Hunting license

Above all, the girls were in a safe and positive environment, where they learnt new things and ideas, made friends and lifetime memories. Special thanks to Light Upon Light, Goza Dance Fitness and all the families and friends; the dads, grandmothers, mothers, aunts and volunteers that supported with their time, money and sweat. You are the real MVPS.

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

Welcome to our world! Our children should be taught to make positive statements about themselves, what they want and who they want to become. Since our belief system is built early in life, Positive affirmations would help to lay the foundation for a healthy set of beliefs which will help anyone from within. Positive affirmations create positive children. Practice the following affirmations daily, preferably morning, night and anytime in between.

I am blessed                                       I am strong

I am unique                                        There is only one of me

I love my family                                 I love myself

 I accept myself                                 I am worthy

 I am beautiful                                    I am confident

 I believe in myself                           I am important
