Action Plans

On 18 January 2009, the teachers and administrators of Al Hidayah Islamic Pre-School called a meeting with the parents of current students. The parents were briefed on the current eviction issue, including given insight into the history of complaints from neighbours.

There was unanimous consensus that the pre-school had to be saved. No one wanted to see Al Hidayah suffer the fate of other educational institutions that had to shutter their doors because of the lack of a place to operate.

Moving forward it was decided to handle the eviction with a multi-pronged approach. First, we would try several methods to fight the eviction. Under this thread we would gather support to maintain Al Hidayah in its current location, negotiate with the neighbours to withdraw their objection, and call on support and assistance from other players to utilize their influence. Our second approach was to assist Al Hidayah in locating alternative sites for the pre-school.

Updates to our efforts will be posted to this website.
