Bassam Ali Suleiman Al Naqbi, Vice chairman of the Parents' Council in Khorfakkan, confirmed the council's support for voluntary work that would achieve social cohesion, especially during crises.
He added to “Sharjah 24” that the initiative aims to motivate all segments of society to carry out voluntary work and spread this culture owing to its positive effects on the individual and the society alike.
Al Naqbi explained that the initiative included honouring civilian volunteers who contributed to social work, including distributing meals and helping the competent authorities to clean the homes of those affected by torrential rain.
