This program is designed to strengthen the connection of younger generations to their mother tongue while fostering a sense of national identity and allegiance to Jordan.
According to Jordan News Agency, Farouk Jarrah, President of the Diwan's Administrative Board, stated that this initiative is part of the organization's ongoing efforts to serve the Jordanian community in the United States.
