Dear Friend,

Invitation to join FASTING TO REMEMBER – 18th October 2007
I am writing to invite you and your school to participate in Fasting to Remember 2007.
Fasting to Remember is an initiative aimed at uniting people of different faiths and
backgrounds through a National Day of Fasting to raise money for charity. It is an effort to
show that diverse communities can get together in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and
for a good cause.

Pupils, teachers, head teachers and the whole school community are invited to join in the fast
and raise money for charity. All the money raised will benefit the following charitable causes:

• Barnardo’s [45%]
Barnardo's is one of the leading UK children's charities – offering a wide range of support
services for children, young people and their families, helping children who are young
carers, for example, looking after a sick or disabled relative.
Registered charity no. 216250 and SC037605

• Action for Africa [45%]
An emergency appeal to help the 4.5 million people affected by ongoing conflict in the
regions of Darfur, Chad and the Central African Republic.
Coordinated by Islamic Relief as part of the Disasters Emergency Committee.
Registered charity no. 1112111

• A local charitable cause of your school’s choice [10%]
Past examples have included Rainbows Children's Hospice in Leicester and Christies
Hospital in Manchester, where much needed medical equipment was sought.
Participation in the event will be a wonderful opportunity for schools to provide practical and
interactive learning in the areas of citizenship, religious education, geography and extracurricular
activities. A starter pack will be available complete with background information
and guidelines, lesson plans, ideas for activities and sponsorship forms. We will also be
producing leaflets, posters and other support material for you to use.
Taking part is simple – just register your school/group via the form on our website:
http://www.isb.org.uk/fasting2remember/ and we will send you all the relevant information.

Yours sincerely,
Khadijah Elshayyal
Vice President (ISB)
