The Centre for Empowerment and Elderly Care (Ehsan Centre) organised an interactive workshop on “The Giving Continues”.
The workshop comes within a programme adopted by the centre to activate the role of social responsibility and affirm the values of co-operation, interdependence and solidarity among members of society, highlighting the concept of volunteering, which represents the humanitarian aspect of societal and cultural relations.
Commenting on the programme, head of the Ehsan Centre’s Preparation and Design Department, Zainab al-Kuwari, said that it is aimed at attracting volunteers to serve, care and empower elderly people in the country.
The workshop was presented by the educational consultant Jaber al-Araq al-Marri, who discussed the concept of genuine giving, which starts from childhood and lasts beyond old age.
He noted the positive aspects of the twilight years and how to enjoy it in several ways, including reading, sitting with the grandchildren, working part-time, exercising, and being free from restrictions and stress.
Al-Marri also highlighted the importance of exploiting this stage in life to memorise the Qur'an and writing books when possible or reading them, adding that some might have an opportunity to start a business at this stage.
At the end of the workshop, the participants presented a set of distinguished innovations, which, in their entirety, are in the interest of achieving the goals of the Ehsan Centre and for the benefit of the elderly, empowering them, taking care of them and providing a decent life for them. – QNA
