Ambassadors of Charity bring joy to lives of people in need

Young volunteers say they are doing a lot, but there is much more to be done.
Saudi Gazette report JEDDAH — They burn to ignite a smile on the faces of those in need, trying to achieve a big humanitarian goal, and they are doing much more than they can. The ambassadors of charity are a group of young people doing voluntary work day and night to meet the needs of the needy so they do not have to humble themselves by asking for help. The culture of volunteerism started in a small way in the community, but with greater awareness and enthusiasm in the new generation, the number of young people volunteering has become a pride for the country and their families. They are seen everywhere, and their services are not limited to humans. In many cases, but their giving nature transcends to reach animals, birds and trees. Young people say they perform a lot of volunteer work, but the needs are bigger than their ambitions. They make individual efforts while waiting for concerned parties to support their material and moral initiatives, and to bring them under an official umbrella that preserves their rights, especially after many companies benefit from these efforts.
