Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Social Services Department has organized an exciting lineup of events and activities to celebrate Eid Al Fitr with the theme "Our Eid with Them." This celebration aims to spread joy and strengthen connections within the community, especially as 2025 is being recognized as the Year of the Community. Maryam Al Qatari, who leads the Care and Protection Sector and runs the Elderly Care Home, shared that this year's festivities focus on the importance of working together and supporting one another in society.

Programs for all groups

The Care and Protection Sector includes several departments and centers that focus on helping different groups of people. This ranges from homes for children, the elderly, and women who have experienced abuse, to centers that provide support for elderly services, child protection, families, people with disabilities, and mental health patients. During Eid celebrations, the sector organizes fun activities tailored to these diverse groups, creating a joyful environment where they can celebrate the holiday with their families. 

Spreading joy to all

Al Qatari announced that the Eid celebrations will reach beyond just community centers. They will also include activities at the homes of elderly individuals who receive support from the Senior Citizens Services Center, making sure everyone can join in the festivities, even if they have trouble getting out. There will be special events for children at the Family Forum as well, featuring fun activities for kids with vision impairment and for families who are going through divorce. 

At the nursing home, there will be a special program called "Khattar Al Dar." This event allows seniors to spend time with their families and join in on fun activities. They will be given special clothes for Eid, along with perfumes and gifts, making it a joyful and memorable occasion. 

Recreational activities and group breakfast

At the Child Protection Center and Dar Al Aman, children received new clothes to celebrate Eid. The celebration included a big outdoor breakfast, talks about religion and health, fun trips, and gifts for everyone. The goal was to create a joyful and festive atmosphere for all.
