Volunteering with Emirates Red Crescent
During my time volunteering with the Emirates Red Crescent, I actively participated in various community service initiatives aimed at supporting and improving the lives of those in need. My responsibilities included organizing and distributing aid, coordinating relief efforts, and assisting with logistics and operations during emergencies. This role allowed me to engage directly with affected communities, contributing to humanitarian projects that provided essential services and support. My work with the Emirates Red Crescent has deepened my understanding of humanitarian needs and the importance of community-driven efforts in crisis situations.
- Trahum For Gaza Campaign
As volunteer with the Trahum For Gaza campaign for one whole week (21-28 October, 2023), I was involved in a critical initiative focused on providing relief to those affected by the Gaza conflict. My tasks included assembling and distributing relief boxes, which contained essential supplies such as food, clothing, and medical items. This experience not only enhanced my organizational and logistical skills but also reinforced my commitment to humanitarian work. Through this campaign, I gained a profound appreciation for the impact of targeted relief efforts and the importance of empathy and support in times of crisis.
