QF’s response to Afghan evacuees – A turning point for volunteerism in Qatar
The Peninsula
Qatar Foundation’s (QF) humanitarian response to Afghan evacuees through a student-led volunteering initiative has helped shape a volunteering spirit and culture in Qatar.
The volunteering spirit that has been seen is not event-led and is civic which is not typically seen in Qatar. The fact that more than 1,000 had signed up for the initiative shows the enthusiasm which revolutionized the community’s attitude towards volunteering. Among them 300 volunteers, including QF students and staff were deployed.
QF has galvanized the community to take a significant role in showing Afghan evacuees that they are not alone, and that humanity stands with them.
