SAVW congratulates students on going back to school

Dr. Jassim Al Hammadi, Secretary General of the Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work, underlines the award's commitment to instilling volunteer values in children through innovative programs tailored to the younger generation. The belief in cultivating volunteerism in children from a young age is underscored as crucial to nurturing an informed and responsible generation that actively contributes to community service and sustainable development.

Recognizing the significance of instilling volunteerism in children from early stages for a wholesome upbringing, the award endeavors to provide programs and activities aimed at nurturing these noble values within children. Through engagement in volunteer work, children gain an understanding of the importance of giving and collaboration, contributing to the development of a cohesive and sustainable society.

Al Hammadi further highlights the award's annual organization of educational, cultural, and interactive activities to familiarize children with the importance of volunteer work and its role in enhancing society. These activities encourage their involvement in volunteer initiatives within their schools and social environment, complemented by workshops, awareness publications, and the honoring of student volunteers through "Knights of Volunteerism" programs, including university students.

The programs are not merely temporary measures but reflect the award's vision to establish a permanent and sustainable culture of volunteerism among future generations, emphasizing collaborative efforts with public and private schools and families to instill values of volunteerism in children. Notably, extracurricular activities, including volunteer work, are recognized for enhancing children's self-confidence and personal skills compared to their non-volunteer peers.

The award remains committed to advancing and nurturing the spirit of volunteerism in children through collaboration with various educational and community organizations, with the ultimate goal of fostering an informed generation that actively contributes to nation-building.
