It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mrs. Soumaya Amr — the heart and soul behind El Alsson School. From Haraneya to NewGiza, she was the pillar upon which this great institution was built. Today, the El Alsson community mourns the loss of an icon, a guiding force, and its very essence.

Madam Soumaya was more than a School Director — she was a visionary, a role model, and a pioneer in the field of education. Her leadership paved the way for generations of educators and schools across Egypt. Her legacy is not only in the buildings or the systems she established, but in the lives she touched and the values she instilled.

She was admired and loved deeply — for her unwavering compassion, her empathy, her integrity, and her genuine care for every student, parent, and staff member who ever walked through El Alsson’s doors.

At this difficult time, we extend our heartfelt condolences and unwavering support to everyone who knew her, worked alongside her, learned from her, and loved her. To her family — you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find strength and comfort in the love and legacy she leaves behind.

We honour her memory with profound respect and lasting gratitude.
May her soul rest in peace, and may her light continue to guide us.

ببالغ الحزن والأسى ننعى السيدة سمية عمرو — القلب النابض والركيزة الأساسية وراء مدرسة الألسن، من الحرانية إلى نيو جيزة. لقد كانت الدعامة التي بُنيت عليها هذه المؤسسة العريقة، واليوم تفقد عائلة الألسن رمزاً، ومرشدةً، وجوهر روحها.

لم تكن مدام سمية مجرد مديرة مدرسة، بل كانت رائدة ومثلًا أعلى ونموذجًا يحتذى به في مجال التعليم. لقد مهدت الطريق لأجيال من المعلمين والمدارس في مصر، وتركت بصمتها في كل جانب من جوانب التعليم الحديث. إرثها لا يقتصر على المباني أو الأنظمة، بل يعيش في القيم التي غرستها والقلوب التي أثّرت فيها.

كانت محبوبة ومحترمة من الجميع — لما أظهرته من رحمة وتعاطف ونزاهة واهتمام صادق بكل طالب وولي أمر وموظف مرّ عبر أبواب الألسن.

وفي هذا الوقت العصيب، نرسل أحر تعازينا وأصدق مشاعر الدعم لكل من عرفها أو عمل معها أو تعلّم منها أو أحبّها. ونتوجه بخالص المواساة والدعاء إلى عائلتها الكريمة — قلوبنا معكم، ونسأل الله أن يلهمكم الصبر والسلوان، وأن يحيطكم بحبها الذي لا يزول.

نكرّم ذكراها بكل احترام وامتنان.
رحمها الله رحمة واسعة، وجعل نورها طريقاً نستضيء به دائمًا.

El Alsson’s Orphans’ Iftar

Posted on by Malak Fateen

An evening of Love, Laughter & Togetherness – Our Annual Orphans’ Iftar

Yesterday was a day to remember! ✨ El Alsson El Khair proudly hosted our Annual Ramadan Iftar, welcoming 180 amazing children from our supported orphanages, homes, and disabled orphanage. From the moment they arrived at 3:30 PM, their excitement filled the air as they enjoyed an afternoon of fun, laughter, and friendship.

The school was alive with the joy of football, face painting, arts and crafts, beading, and free play in the Junior playgrounds. The most heartwarming part? Seeing their familiarity and comfort—El Alsson is like home, and our volunteers like family.

As the call to Maghrib echoed, we all gathered to break our fast together, sharing a meal filled with love and gratitude. The evening continued with music, dancing, and beautiful Ramadan beats, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

None of this would have been possible without El Alsson El Khair, our incredible student councils, dedicated student and teacher volunteers, and the unwavering generosity of our parents, students, and staff. Your donations, time, and kindness made this event possible—and more importantly, made these children feel loved and cherished.

Thank you for being the reason behind their smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

El Alsson ElKheir Ramadan initiative 2025

Posted on by Malak Fateen

Alsson Elkheir Ramadan Initiative

El Alsson British and American International School in New Giza would like to announce the Alsson ElKheir Ramadan initiative 2025.  We are always very impressed with the generosity and care that our families demonstrate during Ramadan. This is a tradition we would like to continue and develop every year. Last year we gave out 400 boxes and prepared Iftar for 150 orphans. With your generous support, we were able to raise approximately 270,000 LE.

This year, we are looking forward to increasing the reach of our Ramadan initiative by giving out 430 and sponsoring  additional Iftar events during Ramadan. As a school, we believe not only that charity and community service begins at home, but also that children benefit from giving of their time and efforts. With Ramadan approaching, we invite students to make donations to support Alsson ElKheir this Ramadan 2025. Funds collected will be used to support activities that students will participate in including:

 

  • Packing and distributing whole-sale dry goods to create Ramadan boxes to support our matrons and workers as well as sponsored families in need and orphanages
  • Sponsoring an iftar for orphans and families in need who we support as a school community.
  • Sponsoring an iftar for our matrons and workers on campus

 

Children of all ages, across the schools, will have the opportunity to work together to organize, pack and distribute items, while also learning the importance of teamwork and the spirit of giving. Students will be guided and supported in this process through our teachers and leadership teams.

In light of rising inflation and increase of prices, we ask for your generous donation to support Alsson Elkheir Ramadan drive as every year.  Please send your donations to the tutor teacher / homeroom / or relevant office in a sealed and labelled envelope labelled Alsson ElKheir Ramadan  by January 31,2025. The sooner your contribution is received, the faster we proceed. Should you have any questions, please contact Ms. Nihal Amin in the British school or Ms. Angie Shalaby in the American school.

Wishing you all a Ramadan Kareem.

Alsson Elkheir Team
