The Kuwaiti Ambassador to New Delhi, Meshal Al-Shammari, stated 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.
In a statement received by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Saturday, the Kuwaiti Embassy in India noted that these remarks were made during a meeting held by Ambassador Al-Shammari with a delegation from Namaa Charity, under the Social Reform Association, led by Khaled Al-Shammari, Head of the Programs and Initiatives Sector, along with the Amal Cloud Volunteer Team. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the delegation’s visit to India to carry out several joint humanitarian projects and initiatives.
Ambassador Al-Shammari expressed his appreciation for the efforts undertaken by institutions and volunteer teams in the charitable and humanitarian fields, 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 emphasized that charitable and humanitarian work represents a firmly entrenched value in Kuwaiti society, reflecting the innate Kuwaiti love for goodness and their 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 stated 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 stressed 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 Namaa Charity and volunteer teams highlight the importance of partnership between charitable institutions and volunteers. He pointed out that field work adds value to humanitarian initiatives, as it allows for direct identification of community needs and their fulfillment according to actual priorities.
He commended the presence of the Amal Cloud Volunteer Team and its participation in implementing projects alongside Namaa Charity, considering the involvement of participants from Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia as a beautiful model 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 a sincere volunteer spirit. He praised 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 Namaa Charity under the Social Reform 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 Namaa Charity and the Amal Cloud Volunteer Team. He noted that these partnerships reflect Namaa’s commitment to expanding its circle of cooperation with teams and institutions sharing a common humanitarian message, thereby contributing to reaching beneficiaries and achieving a greater impact.
He noted that the participation of volunteers from Kuwait, Bahrain, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in this mission carries an important Gulf and humanitarian message: that charitable work unites peoples around the values of compassion, solidarity, and generosity, and that those in need are at the heart of these efforts, regardless of borders and geography. He affirmed that Namaa Charity will continue to implement its humanitarian and development projects in collaboration with its partners, expressing his gratitude to benefactors and donors who contribute to sustaining these initiatives and turning them into tangible realities.
