A new summer school has been launched by the Hope Caravan Foundation in Van, eastern Türkiye, offering children a blend of Islamic education and recreational activities during the holiday period.

The initiative, open to children from families registered with the association and the wider community, aims to provide a productive and enriching environment for young participants. The curriculum includes Qur’an lessons, teachings on Islamic manners, creed, and the life of the Prophet Muhammad, alongside activities such as swimming, football, film screenings, and picnics.

Organisers say the initiative is designed to foster both spiritual growth and social skills. “We want to support children in building strong moral foundations while enjoying engaging activities that promote community and teamwork,” a Hope Caravan spokesperson said.

The summer school is part of the association’s ongoing efforts to support youth and families in underserved areas through faith-based and community-focused initiatives. Registration remains open, with the school welcoming all families in Van and nearby regions.

The scheme has already attracted significant interest from local residents and is set to run throughout the svanummer holidays. (ILKHA)
