Volunteer for Hope Organization Organizes a Social Iftar for the Elderly

On May 11, 2023, Volunteer for Hope Organization organized a social iftar for the elderly in Jerusalem as part of its Home Care for the Elderly project. This project is carried out in collaboration with the Palestinian Ministry of Social Development and funded by the Arab League. The event included a variety of recreational and medical activities to ensure that participants gained the most benefit from their gathering, aiming to foster social interaction among the elderly, enhance their social connections, and contribute to improving their mental well-being.

Special attention was given to providing a healthy and suitable meal for the elderly, and a location was chosen to create a joyful and pleasant atmosphere. The elderly, who expressed their interest in participating, were transported with the help of the Directorate of Social Development in Jerusalem to “Al-Baba Park” in Al-Eizariya.

A total of 20 beneficiaries, along with some of their family members, participated in the social iftar. The event was also attended by several official figures, representatives from the Ministry of Social Development, and the organization’s staff. During the meal, the elderly were informed about the upcoming activities planned for them, and a series of recreational activities was organized, including a group singing session featuring traditional folk songs that catered to the interests and enjoyment of the elderly women.
