Youth Role in Volunteerism and Charity.
The latest episode of Jwandai Jazbey (alive spirits) focused on the charitable work of youngsters as volunteers during Ramazan.
Charity is one of the deeds liked by Allah and the act of helping those who are in need. Activities of the Welfare organizations in Ramazan and youth volunteerism were the key discussion points in the program. Moreover, the program shed light on the role of donors who provide funds for charity. Interfaith harmony was also discussed as not only the Muslim community helped the underprivileged but Sikh community also helped them by offering free iftar.
Mr. Shoaib Ghaffar, a Peshawar based young social worker and President of “I am Volunteer”, was invited as a guest in the show.
Mr. Ghaffar said: “Helping humanity is the real purpose of life. Those who want to join our organization are welcomed as we are not doing charities only in the month of Ramazan but we have also plans for helping youngsters in establishing their own business.”
A radio report was made part of the program. The report highlighted the activities of youth where free food was arranged for the less fortunate and Eid packages were distributed among them.
Three listeners took part in the program through text messages. The listeners appreciated the role of youth in charities and how they can be a part of any welfare organization.
