Quested Peace CC, Iris Women CC and Mercy CC | Middle East and North Africa Region
On a Saturday in Ramadan, a month for giving and sharing, fifteen members from three Jordanian URI Cooperation Circles headed to Al Mafraq, 100km from the center of Amman, to distribute food. Their mission: to bring relief to widows and single mothers struggling to survive in one of Jordan’s most impoverished provinces. With funding from the Jordanian CC network and their supporters, the three Circles— Quested Peace CC, Iris Women CC and Mercy CC—have distributed 78 packets of food to two poor villages in the region. Volunteers from the British Embassy joined them on their journey to Al Mafraq. After the food had been distributed, they brought backpacks filled with school supplies to 55 orphaned children. “Nothing compares to seeing the smiles of children,” said one of the organizers.
