Yes thats right. I'm sure if you are apart of the 9,500 residents currently living in Al Khor Community then you would have undoubtedly heard of 'Can It'. In fact Project 'Can It' is where the majority of people heard about Tout Le Monde. This is because 'Can It' is our flagship event!
But what exactly IS Project Can It?
Well it was a charity project undertaken in 09'. The human rights wing of the organisation organised a charity drive; which involved the collection of canned foods and/or money donations from the people of Al Khor Community. This was a 4 day event, and all donations were being raised for the gardeners of the community.

Approximately 1,457 homes participated in this gesture purely under the influence of good will and charity.
This massive project required alot of organising, planning and man hours. Tout Le Monde managed the extraordinary feat with the help of 50+ student volunteers and the Al Khor Community management on one day.
In the end the charity drive raised over 20,000 QAR, and raked in over 1500 cans!
Well done to everyone involved! Of course remembering the fact that the entire operation was organised and ran by youth with no adults overseeing the project.
And of course Tout Le Monde didn't stop there. We were determined to personally present the donations to the gardeners who work in the community and so one week later our volunteers got together to visit the workers accommodation in Al Khor. The whole event went smoothly and the representative from ROTA ( Reach out to Asia) was very impresses with what they saw. The workers were also very grateful concerning the donations.
This was an EXTREMELY successful event which is why we have decided to make it our flagship event, and we hope to maby organise another 'Can It' charity drive soon.
In the mean time this just shows how dedicated TLM is, and how much of their own time they are willing to give in order to make the community we live in a better place.
