The 13th edition of the “Shaikh Isa bin Ali Award for Voluntary Work” will honour prominent Arab voluntary work pioneers in recognition of their noble humanitarian role, and the great sacrifices they make to serve their communities, said board of directors chairman of the Good Word Society and Arab Union for Voluntary Work president Hassan Bu Hazza.
He indicated that the winners will be selected according to the mechanisms and objective criteria set by the organising committee, in co-operation with the Arab Union for Voluntary Work.
He attributed the remarkable progress of the award to the constant support of Cabinet Affairs Ministry’s under-secretary and honorary president of the Good Word Society Shaikh Isa bin Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, citing his pioneering role in promoting voluntary work locally and at the Arab level through the adoption of many initiatives aiming to consolidate volunteering culture and values, as well as social solidarity as essential mechanisms for the advancement of societies.
Launched in 2011, the award is organised by the Good Word Society in co-operation with the Arab Union for Voluntary Work, and it aims to encourage young people to provide innovative solutions through voluntary work to face challenges and crises.
