The Ramadan volunteer initiative of Qatar-based youth empowerment and development concern The Youth Company (TYC) has reached out to thousands of people across the country for the sixth year running. 

Supported by Gulf Warehousing Company (GWC), the “7asanat Olympics” initiative began on the first day of Ramadan and ended on Thursday. 

“A main driver for the company’s purpose and passion over the last 15 years has been and will continue to be our enthusiastic support for the local communities, said GWC Group CEO Ranjeev Menon.

“As we witness the sixth year of our commitment to the success of the 7asanat Olympics, we continue our tradition of supporting youth, entrepreneurship and volunteerism in our CSR efforts and in our pursuit of QNV 2030 Social Development objectives.” 

During the Holy Month of Ramadan, 70 volunteers engaged in a number of initiatives, including distributing Iftar boxes at traffic lights at maghreb time, being with patients who cannot be with their families and cleaning up Qatar’s beaches.

The volunteers also visited various community centres as part of their outreach programme, including the Muaither Residential Compound for the Elderly, Step by Step, Omega Center and Hope Center for children with special needs. The event also included a Garangao children’s festival on the 14th night of Ramadan.

The 7asanat Olympics is an annual Ramadan event encouraging youth volunteerism and helping those fasting in the community as well as the disadvantaged. 

This year’s Olympics was a month-long programme that comprises an array of different charitable activities. It aims to help shape the multicultural Qatar by raising awareness on the importance of individual volunteerism and collective action to improve lives of less fortunate ones and show care towards others during Ramadan.
