The first volunteer project for the new academic year saw ten undergraduate students volunteer for Hayaa Beyia Eid celebrations at Alia School; for Early Intervention.
The event was a celebration at the school for the children to mark the coming Eid holiday period. RCSI Bahrain Community Engagement volunteers supported the event by handling the games activity section, which saw a variety of fun activities such as face painting, ball games, obstacle games and drawing competition.
Ms Kawthar Al Gallaf was at the event to support the students and commented, I was proud to be part of this project and of the student volunteer from RCSI Bahrain. They were very professional, helpful and caring. The staff and students of Alia had a fantastic morning and was a great way for them to start the Eid holidays.
A total of 1531 hours of volunteer work was achieved by the 2012- 2013 Community Engagement volunteers. With a record number of registered staff and students wanting to participate this year, the University aims to support more activities locally, regionally and internationally.
