I am a Volunteer

Abdulrahman Bu-Hamid: an administrative clerk. Volunteering at Ithra brings me happiness with every smile I see on the face of an elderly man and every wave a child gives me. Volunteering is makes me happy with life. Volunteering has given me an international license for voluntary work. I have also participated in the launch of the Saudi Volunteering Award. I believe that my personal development and the essence of my success in life is due to my time spent volunteering.
