Participants at the workshop.
In the framework of the joint cooperation between the Qatar Foundation for Social Work (QFSW), IHSAN Center, one of the QFSW Centres, has organised two arts and handicraft workshops for IHSAN members over the period of four days, in collaboration with NAMA Social Development Center.
The workshops’ activities revolved around crochet handicrafts, with the aim of empowering mothers and providing them with new productive skills that help boost their income and self-reliance, as well as to strengthen their hand muscles, and integrate them with fellow affiliates, which helps break their daily routine and enhances their self-esteem. It is worth mentioning that IHSAN Social Club is currently witnessing significant development through the creation of new services, programs and activities, so as to cover all aspects of life, from sports activities and handicraft skills to cultural and recreational seminars and lectures in a variety of fields. This is in addition to the Club’s elderly patrons and frequenters during daytime with supervision and health care services. The Social Club seeks to attract the elderly and create social interaction among them, where they can exchange experiences among themselves in various disciplines, as well as to empower them and strive to leverage those experiences for the benefit of the community. The first workshop kicked off on March 5, and continued for two days, while the second will take place from March 12 to March 14, at the headquarters of IHSAN Center.
