DOHA: The Community Youth Center at Sheikh Thani bin Abddullah Foundation for Humanitarian Services (RAF) has taken a group of seven Qatari students of secondary school on a charity trip to Kenya.
The move is aimed to educate them about charity works.
The students helped distributing aid materials to orphans and the poor and visited a tribe newly converted to Islam during their stay in Kenya.
The four-day trip is meant to create culture of volunteering and charity works among the students through providing them opportunities to meet needy people.
The trip will help strengthen the sense of social responsibility among students at an early age and bring simplicity to their lives.
The delegation of students visited RAF International University in Kenya, an orphanage at Namangha, Abu Huraira school for Holy Quran and Arabic learning centre. They distributed foodstuff to a tribe newly converted to Islam. They also visited the poorest street in Nairobi to interact with needy people and to know how they survive and what support they need.
“We visited RAF University in Kenya where we met with students and their love for knowledge”, said Ahmad Naji, a student of Mohamad bin Abdul Wahab school. We also visited an orphanage and had lunch with inmates, said Naji.
