Friendship Day
The International School of Choueifat - Manama, Bahrain
February 10, 2024The Friendship Day, organized by the Social Responsibility Department at ISC Manama in collaboration with the Royal Humanitarian Foundation, was a heartwarming and memorable event. Volunteering at an orphanage was a special occasion to showcase kindness and giving within our community.
A group of 75 prefects eagerly embarked on a new adventure as volunteers and donated their time and skills to engage with the 115 orphans. As the students entered the orphanage, they were immediately greeted by smiling faces and welcoming hugs. The prefects spent some quality time with the children, engaging them in various activities. It was heartening to see the joy on the orphan's faces. We could see that our small effort has significantly impacted their day. Interacting and playing with the children was very rewarding, and it was great to see how much all the children enjoyed the fun and activities.
A group photo was then taken, capturing this special day's spirit and mood. Everyone then gathered for a well-deserved lunch, which was followed by a range of additional activities such as robotics, henna art, and balloon shaping. The successful event was concluded with members of the Royal Humanitarian Foundation and a special guest actor presenting gifts to the young children. This initiative brought happiness to the orphans and highlighted the importance of compassion and community involvement. By involving our students in these activities, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
I came back home filled with warmth, due to the smiles our students put on the children’s faces on Friendship Day. It was truly an uplifting event and I enjoyed every second.
