On 27 May 2026, members of the Faculty of Administrative Sciences and Economics (FASE) had the privilege of taking part in one of the most personally meaningful activities of the academic year — joining FASE Charity in their Eid al-Adha charitable programme. As part of this initiative, the team was entrusted with the distribution of meat from a 20-share sacrifice, known as a Hsa, to families living in difficult circumstances within the local community.
The task itself was straightforward in nature, yet profound in meaning. Volunteers were responsible for organising and distributing portions of meat directly to beneficiary families. What made the experience stand out, however, was not the logistics — it was the human moments in between. The quiet gratitude on a family’s face. The warmth exchanged with strangers. The shared understanding that this was a day that genuinely mattered to the people receiving help.
Throughout the event, the atmosphere remained consistently positive, respectful, and compassionate. There was a shared sense of responsibility among the volunteers — not just to complete the task efficiently, but to do so in a manner that honoured the dignity of every individual and family they encountered. This was, at its heart, a human endeavour, and it was treated as such.
For many of the students involved, the experience offered something that goes beyond what a classroom can teach. It was an opportunity to live out the values that underpin both the spirit of Eid al-Adha and the broader purpose of a well-rounded university education: to understand people, to serve where you can, and to recognise that professional growth and human empathy are not mutually exclusive — they are deeply connected.
The department is proud of the students who volunteered their time and energy for this occasion, and equally grateful to FASE Charity for organising an initiative of such significance. The collaboration reflects a shared belief that universities have a responsibility not only to educate but to actively contribute to the wellbeing of the communities around them.
As the department continues to encourage student involvement in civic and charitable activities, this Eid al-Adha initiative stands as a fine example of what it means to represent the university with integrity, compassion, and a genuine desire to make a difference.
