The Bahrain Historical and Archaeological Society organized a seminar on the history of the Bahrain Red Crescent Society, as part of its 72nd cultural season, at the society’s headquarters in Juffair. The event was attended by members from both societies, volunteers, and those interested in cultural and humanitarian affairs.
The evening highlighted the key milestones in the society’s journey and its pioneering role in promoting the values of volunteerism, relief work, and national service both within the Kingdom and abroad, in addition to its humanitarian contributions throughout various stages and events.
In his speech during the event, Mr. Adel Al-Jar reviewed the development path of the society since its establishment and its role in supporting humanitarian initiatives launched from Bahrain to the outside world. He affirmed that the Bahrain Red Crescent Society has, over the past decades, served as a national model in spreading the values of giving and social responsibility. He also emphasized that preserving this humanitarian legacy is a collective responsibility that requires documentation and continuous communication between generations.
For her part, Dr. Nilofer Jahromi focused on the volunteer aspect of the society’s work, explaining that the efforts made in training and qualifying volunteers have always been a fundamental pillar in sustaining humanitarian action. She also highlighted the prominent role of Bahraini women in the society’s journey and their effective contributions across various fields of relief and community service.
The evening concluded with a reaffirmation of the society’s commitment to continuing its mission of promoting a culture of volunteerism and strengthening its presence as a leading humanitarian institution that contributes to sustainable development and serves the Bahraini community.
