Queen Rania hosts volunteer groups for iftar

Queen Rania on Monday hosted a group of youth volunteers from different initiatives and organisations for iftar at Al Hussein Youth City in Amman.   Working across the Kingdom, the volunteers come from different organisations that cater towards a wide array of causes and issues such as poverty alleviation, community development projects, health and environmental awareness, assisting the elderly and education. “You have the positive outlook to find solutions, and I encourage you to continue to do so,” Her Majesty told the volunteers. “You are pioneers in spreading the culture of volunteerism”. Commending the volunteers’ giving spirit and their commitment towards helping those less fortunate, the Queen expressed her pride in the fact that these initiatives were founded and organised by the youths themselves. The Queen also stressed the youths’ ability to bring about positive change and the need to encourage further systematic and inclusive volunteerism efforts, to encourage more participation by young Jordanians.
