The Department of Basic Humanities and Sciences at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the University of Science and Technology organized a Ramadan Iftar banquet for orphan children in the city of Irbid. This initiative comes within the volunteer work and social responsibility activities carried out by the department. It aims to provide support and joy on the faces of orphan children and give them the opportunity to enjoy a unique group Ramadan iftar experience.
This event comes at the initiative of the students of the Leadership and Social Responsibility course in the Department of Basic Humanities and Scientific Sciences, which reflects the desire to interact and provide service to the local community and to network with its charitable institutions. It is worth noting here that about 50 orphan children were hosted at the Al-Sarih Association in Irbid Governorate. Such initiatives are extremely important because of the significant positive impact they have on the souls of orphan children. They also give them the opportunity to communicate and integrate into a supportive and loving environment, which makes them feel warm and cared for, which contributes to putting smiles and joy on their faces.
These initiatives aim to enhance the spirit of volunteer work and consolidate the concept of social responsibility among university students. They also demonstrate the level of community awareness and value commitment through working as a single team. It gives them the opportunity to promote humanitarian values and principles and embody communication and cooperation skills, in addition to building a bridge in the social volunteer work system by providing assistance to people in need. In addition to the iftar banquet, this purposeful Ramadan program featured many purposeful entertainment and cultural segments, in addition to offering prizes and gifts to orphan children, which brought joy and pleasure to their hearts.
For his part, Professor Dr. Mutawakel Obaidat, Head of the Department of Basic Human and Scientific Sciences at the Jordan University of Science and Technology, expressed that such humanitarian initiatives encourage further instilling values and emphasizing the concepts of interdependence and compassion in the holy month, while stressing the necessity of continuing these distinguished charitable initiatives.
