Amman: El Hassan Youth Award (EYA) held an interactive day at its permanent camp in Amman's Tabarbour area, with the participation of 64 young men and women from care homes. Orphanages from Amman and Irbid governorates took part in the day as part of "Siraj Project" initiatives for orphan empowerment.
According to Jordan News Agency, the day featured "intensive" practical application of the award's four programs, mainly designed to refine participants' skills and develop their life and leadership abilities. The youth contributed to painting the camp's sidewalks and trees to instill values of responsibility and environmental conservation as part of their community service.
The skill-based program focused on stimulating scientific and innovative thinking through hands-on training. Activities also focused on sports and physical fitness, including basic military training and team games to foster teamwork and discipline. Culminating in an expedition, participants learned land navigation skills, map reading, and the use of compasses.
Besides the field activities, the events featured an interactive dialogue session that allowed youth to express their aspirations and discuss their ideas. This activity falls under the vision of "Siraj Project," which aims to care for and empower orphans and people without family support, in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Development.
