Bahraini Red Crescent volunteers have been deployed in small teams to distribute aid during the evening after \u201cIftar\u201d, wearing masks and gloves, and ensuring social distancing.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Adel Aljar, Head of Social Services Committee, said in a statement on this occasion \u201cThe distribution of aid in these difficult circumstances comes as further evidence of the Red Crescent Society\u2019s endeavor to support the Bahraini community. Reaching more than four thousand homes in various regions of Bahrain is not easy, but we accepted this challenge as part of our active contribution to national efforts to tackle coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ali Kadhem, Head of Public Relations Committee &amp; Member Affairs Committee, noted that volunteers will deliver this aid to the most deserving of underprivileged families, and meet their needs while respecting their humanity and dignity, as the volunteers benefit from the experience and vast knowledge of the Red Crescent Society with the requirements of underprivileged for more than forty years. Mr. Kadhem also clarified that \u201cExpress Rent a Car\u201d company put about 14 cars free of charge at the disposal of the Bahrain Red Crescent Society to distribute the aid.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mubarak Al Hadi, \u201cBRCS\u201d Director-General \/ Act General Secretary, praised the efforts of the Society\u2019s volunteers who work tirelessly to distribute aid to underprivileged families despite all the challenges, including the difficulty of reaching many families whose addresses have been changed, and the need to strictly adhere to the precautionary measures to prevent coronavirus, and said that delivering this aid require double the efforts of the Society to fulfill its obligations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also thank \u201cExpress Rent a Car\u201d company\u00a0 and all the Society\u2019s partners for their support, and we urge private companies, institutions, individuals and well-wishers, to come forward and support the Society to help the community\u2019s needy segment and succeed the aid program this year as it did in the previous years.\u201d Al Hadi said concluding his statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bahrain Red Crescent Society (BRCS) continues to provide in-kind assistance to about four thousand five hundred needy families in various regions of the Kingdom of Bahrain during the holy month of Ramadan, as the volunteers of the Society work during the evening period to deliver this aid to the needy families registered in the [&#8230;]\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bahrain-red-crescent-news","category-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
