GCC leaders chose one of the schools where mostly IDPs study while the school is in Arabic .Moreover,  the possibility of repairing by the youth and the high number of students that study in this school the leaders decided to repair the toilet themselves, once they chose the school they checked to know what needs repairing and the equipment they need. The youth first started repairing the water systems by repairing the pipes and the taps. Then they tried to fix the toilets that faced blockage. They also changed the lights that are out of order. Consequently they washed the whole bath rooms and toilets so as to look good and is hygenic. It is worth mentioning that there are about 800 students who study in this school.
