Refurbishment Begins!

Today, the team of Qtel Refaq volunteers started house visits and began the refurbishment process by identifying fixes for all houses. The selected houses, which were identified in poor conditions, will undergo a refurbishment process to make them safer and improve living standards. The first visit consisted of talking to the residents, and data collection to start the next process of fixing. Volunteers will be assisted by a team of experts to carry out all the refurbishment work and hand out vouchers that the tenants can use to buy essential household appliances.

Workshop Series

Refaq’s workshops series for its volunteers began with “Ethics of Volunteer Work”, presented by Mr. Majed Al Ansari, explaining the concept, qualities & principles that a volunteer should have. The 2nd workshop “Project Management & Teamwork” by Mr. Hussein Al Sayyed presented the mechanisms of forming successful practical teams. “Introduction to Interior Design” will be held on the 8th July, by Eng. Noura Al Mugheiseb followed by “Safety and Security Precautions”, from Eng. Mohammed Wajeeh,which will educate Volunteers on the basics of work that would be needed in executing assigned tasks.
