The Orphans Care Center (Dreama) has launched the Ajaweed initiative to open the door for all segments of the community to get to know, socialise and make friends with the children of the centre as a means of successful social integration.
The launch was marked by handing over the Ajaweed flag from the athletes of the Qatari Paralympic Committee to Amal bint Abdullatif al Mannai, executive director of Qatar for Social Work, who in turn fixed it to the designated base.
The initiative shores up support, donations and volunteering to offer any possible service or teach any useful skill to the children of
Dreama Center.
Mannai expressed hopes that the community would respond positively to the initiative, offer appropriate support to the children of Dreama and help the centre make the initiative successful.
She stressed that empowering the orphans would be an added value to the development of the community in particular and humanity in general, adding that there were many forms of volunteering, including dedicating money, time or efforts, or taking part in the public interest events and activities the centre round the year.
Mariam bint Ali bin Nasser al Misnad, executive director of Dreama, said: "The Dreama Ajaweed campaign comes in line with the centre’s vision and mission to raise the awareness and educate the local community about the groups we are supporting and highlights Dreama’s active role that we are playing to serve the orphans in Qatar. The name of the initiative is derived from the local proverb ‘Give, even if you only have a little’.
This saying sums up the aim of the initiative, which is to urge all segments of our community to support the children of Dreama with whatever they can give. One way of achieving this could be by urging the local and expat families to welcome the children of the center as friends and make them an integral part of their lives in order to integrate them in our community and enhance their sense of family belonging.”
She added, "Another way could be by urging the professionals to share their experience with the children to boost their professional abilities and skills. Everyone is also welcome to volunteer to help the orphan children in any way and offer any support or partner to serve the children of Dreama. The door is open for everyone to take part and interact with the Ajaweed initiative.”
Noor al Muhannadi, director of Community Awareness Office of Dreama, said: "We called the initiative Dreama Ajaweed because giving is the best reflection of the noble efforts to empower the orphans and integrate them into the community. We call on everybody to sign in right now to Dreama’s website and take part in the Dreama
Ajaweed initiative.”
The participation by registering through the website has been classified into: Friendly family, Support and donation, Volunteering and Offering a service.
