ONE of ALBAIK’s most popular annual community outreach program – With ALBAIK, You Are The House Hero – kicked off on July 24 and will continue through August. The much awaited and most anticipated summer program will provide activities for some 600 male and female students, to acquire practical hands-on skills for the real world, complementing their academic education at school. “This year, we have taken into consideration the increasingly sophisticated mentality of young adults today,” said Eng. Rami Abu Ghazaleh, CEO of ALBAIK Food Systems, “as well as the dominance of digital technology in everyone’s lives. That is why we have included such courses in this year’s program such as mobile maintenance for boys and 3D design and printing for girls. Our main aim is to prepare and develop the future leaders of tomorrow with the necessary basic skills to inspire their creativity and imagination and broaden their horizons to cultivate fine adults and good citizens, God willing.” The boys’ courses focus on the theoretical and practical basics and application of computer maintenance, cell phone maintenance, electricity, automobile mechanics and the basics of painting and household plumbing. The girls’ courses focus on the relationships between art and science, the basics of health and nutrition but also seek to inspire them with a-hands on course on creativity and design with the latest computer programs and 3D design and printing, along with other areas of practical importance. Upon completion of the program, all trainees will be certified as House Heroes and shall receive certificates approved by the General Organization for Technical and Vocational Training, the Technical College, Jeddah Science Center, the Directorate of Civil Defense and the Saudi Red Crescent. The program takes place in partnership with the Secondary Industrial Institute, Jeddah Science Center and the Technical College Headquarters in Mecca, and are held in conjunction with the Saudi Red Crescent and the Directorate of Civil Defense.
