New Delhi, Aug 29 (KUNA) -- Kuwait’s Ambassador to New Delhi, Meshal Al-Shammari, affirmed that volunteers from Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries exemplify a distinguished model of coordination and joint cooperation in humanitarian work through the implementation of various relief projects and initiatives in India.
The Kuwaiti Embassy in India said in a statement, a copy of which was received by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Saturday, that this came during a meeting held by Ambassador Al-Shammari with a delegation from Nama Charity, under the umbrella of the Al-Islah Social Association, led by Khaled Al-Shammari, head of the Programs and Initiatives Sector, alongside the Sahabat Amal (Cloud of Hope) volunteer team. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the delegation’s visit to India to implement several joint humanitarian projects and initiatives.
Ambassador Al-Shammari expressed his appreciation for the efforts undertaken by charitable institutions and volunteer teams in the humanitarian field, praising the delegation’s presence—which includes participants from Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia—as a shining example of joint GCC cooperation in the fields of giving and serving humanity. He stressed that charitable and humanitarian work represents a firmly rooted value in Kuwaiti society, reflecting the innate Kuwaiti love for goodness and readiness to extend a helping hand to those in need. He noted that humanitarian initiatives remain among the most important means of enhancing communication between peoples and building bridges of love and cooperation.
He said that historically, Kuwait has been known for its support of humanitarian work, and that Kuwaiti charitable institutions have become active partners in providing aid and implementing projects aimed at improving human lives in many communities. He emphasized the importance of continuing this mission within organized frameworks to achieve the greatest possible impact for beneficiaries.
He added that the humanitarian projects implemented by Nama Charity and volunteer teams highlight the importance of partnership between charitable institutions and volunteers, noting that field work adds value to humanitarian initiatives by enabling direct identification of community needs and addressing them according to actual priorities.
He commended the presence of the Sahabat Amal volunteer team and their participation in implementing projects alongside Nama Charity, considering the involvement of participants from Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia as a beautiful example of joint GCC cooperation in humanitarian work. This, he said, confirms that values of goodness and giving transcend borders and unite Gulf citizens around a single humanitarian goal.
The ambassador appreciated the efforts of the team members and their commitment to field presence and project implementation with sincere volunteer spirit, praising the team for embodying a positive model of Gulf youth serving humanity and reinforcing values of solidarity and giving. He also expressed the Kuwaiti Embassy in India’s welcome for such initiatives, which reflect the bright face of Kuwait and the people of the Gulf countries in the field of humanitarian work.
For his part, Khaled Al-Shammari, head of the Programs and Initiatives Sector at Nama Charity under the Al-Islah Social Association, affirmed that this meeting represents important moral support for the humanitarian efforts undertaken by institutions and volunteer teams to serve beneficiaries.
Al-Shammari said the delegation’s visit to India is part of the implementation of several humanitarian projects in partnership between Nama Charity and the Sahabat Amal volunteer team, noting that such partnerships reflect Nama’s commitment to expanding its circle of cooperation with teams and institutions sharing a common humanitarian message, thereby contributing to reaching beneficiaries and achieving greater impact.
He pointed out that the participation of volunteers from Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia in this trip carries an important Gulf and humanitarian message: that charitable work unites peoples around values of mercy, solidarity, and giving, and that the needy individual is the focal point of these efforts, regardless of borders and geography.
He affirmed that Nama Charity will continue to implement its humanitarian and developmental projects in cooperation with its partners, expressing his gratitude to benefactors and donors who contribute to the continuation of these projects and their transformation into tangible reality. (End) T.M.A
