UDST Students Organize Palestine Fundraisers Amid Global Crisis

JANUARY 2024

In response to the crisis in Palestine, UDST students showcased remarkable initiative by organizing fundraisers that raised 48,638 Qatari Riyals. Within a day, a dedicated group of volunteers mobilized to support the effort, which combined fundraising with education, providing materials to raise awareness about Palestine’s culture and the current situation. The event saw overwhelming support from the UDST community, with volunteers contributing homemade food, snacks, and coffee to foster engagement. The success of the fundraiser also led to the formation of an official Palestinian Club at the university, which plans to host more events in the future. This initiative reflects the students’ global awareness, resilience, and commitment to making a difference. UDST extends gratitude to everyone who supported this cause. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the people of Palestine and the Palestinian community in Qatar.
