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.

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.
