As co-founder of Nakhweh.com I arrived to the United States on the 9th of April to participate in the International Visitor Leadership Program by the Department of the State under the title of “Volunteerism: United We Serve” with 104 people from more than 80 different countries. It’s my first visit to the USA; in general I like the country and the way it’s organized, also the people are very kind and friendly (I didn’t expect it though) but for sure it’s not the right place for me to live in.

I’ve been selected to represent Jordan at the IVLP in the United States
As a co-founder of Nakhweh.com I have been selected by the U.S Department of State as the only Jordanian to attend the 3 weeks International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) under the title “Volunteerism: United we Serve”. The program includes a lot of interesting and informative activities on volunteerism and civil engagement in the United States.
I’m looking forward to take such an opportunity to get more exposure for Nakhweh.com in addition of developing my skills for volunteerism culture that can be reflected positively on Jordan and the Arab World.

Do you people want to volunteer?!
Sometimes I feel like I care about people more that caring about myself. I always wanted to do something that keeps my touch in the society and I’m still trying.
Few months ago, I was talking to a lot of people about volunteering and how much we lack volunteers in Jordan. Most of them was like “yes, you are right. We hope to find somewhere to volunteer at”. I thought that it might be the miscommunication between the organizations that need the volunteers and the volunteers themselves. So I started to look around for those firms that need the volunteers in order to organize information so I will be able to get back to people with some helpful information.
