EACH ONE TEACH ONE
AMU Alumni Committee, Western region is
pleased to announce the introduction of
educational program “Each One Teach One" The
purpose is to come together and make a
difference in someone's life. In this way one we
will support one underprivileged student from the
community by funding him / her in the
educational expenses.
Thus if each Aligarian in Jeddah
supports one child, around 500 students will be
able to make their dreams come true which will
uplift the community at large.
Presently AMU Alumni Jeddah is in the process of finalizing the coordination committee at Aligarh who will help prepare a data base of such students which will be presented to the community.

EACH ONE EMPLOYEE ONE
The Alumni Chapter of Jeddah launched the
program “Each one Employee One Program”
on Jan 8, 2015. The idea behind the launch of
the program was to provide employment to
our youth through internal networking. Most
of us are today in a position to either provide
direct employment or help the unemployed
youth by referring him/her to correct sources.
The response to the above program was so
overwhelming that we received numerous
vacancies from several companies within few
weeks of launch. Job Seekers response was
also very good and we are daily receiving lot
of CV’s from candidates looking for jobs.
Within a short period of time, the Alumni
team managed to arrange 12 interviews for
the potential candidates. Out of the twelve
candidates four candidates have been
selected.
Through this newsletter we appeal to all friends and alumni members to come forward and support this program.
