Week 6


Today's work is different and very sensitive. Today we helped distribute “Zakat” money to families in need.  

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. This means that Zakat is mandatory for every sane, adult Muslim who owns wealth over a certain amount – known as the Nisab – he or she must pay 2.5% of that wealth as Zakat.

The charity distributes subsidies in all its forms throughout the year, but they distribute cash subsidies under the name of “Zakat” in Ramadan every year, but before Eid al-Adha, financial vouchers are distributed as Eid gifts.  Given the sensitivity of the subject;  It is absolutely forbidden to take pictures, so we cannot share any additional content other than these words.  Publishing private details or pictures from today would be an unethical voluntary act because it is related to the privacy and dignity of families in need.

These pictures are some examples of previous subsidies made by the charity(we did not take these pictures, but rather the charity provided us with them and we attached them with their knowledge)

Final Exam (Reflection)

 Final Exam Aysha Alromaihi (3319) As someone who has volunteered for community service, I can say that one of the most challenging parts for me was finding the time to commit to it. As a university student, I already have a busy schedule with classes, assignments, and exams, and it can be difficult to fit in volunteering around all of that. Another challenge was coordinating my schedules with the organizations or community groups I was volunteering with. Sometimes they had specific times or days when they needed volunteers, and it didn't always align with my schedule. This was especially challenging if the organization was located far from where I lived or if I didn't have access to reliable transportation.in addition, some of the tasks involved in community service were physically demanding, such as carrying heavy boxes or doing manual labor. As someone who isn't used to that kind of work, it was definitely a challenge for me. However, I found that the satisfaction of hel...

  The social committee is the committee that organizes the affairs of families in need, orphans, or any person in need, where the person in need submits a request letter explaining his situation, the reason for his need for help, and what assistance he desires.  It qualifies him to obtain the subsidy, and the subsidy comes in several forms: financial or medical. Our work today was affiliated with this committee, as we summarized and sorted the applications that were approved and we excluded those that were rejected, as we wrote the information in a table that will then facilitate the committee's access to it when they want to communicate with people of need.  In addition, today Miss Amy visited us and got to know the organization and all its work.

 Week 1  (Feb 26 - March 4) Al Noor Charity Welfare The story of our choice, Al Noor Charity organization At the beginning, we had this idea to give religious lessons to children in an entertaining and simple manner, because we were very excited to deal with children and spend time with them, but this idea soon came to an end. Because this idea is not as simple as we think, and although the first nursery we contacted gave us hope, we discovered that this matter is not legally acceptable. Then we sat with each other frustrated, but we realized something that was out of our mind, which is that moral volunteering means that we do not know everything, and even if we think that we have the skills to deal with children, it requires more experience than what we have, and it is a great responsibility. So we decided to think of something else that we can help and volunteer ethically, until we concluded that the field that most corresponds to our values is charitable societies, so we se...
