Mina: For the second consecutive year, the Karnataka Cultural Foundation (KCF), a socio-cultural forum of the expatriates from the south Indian state living in Saudi Arabia, has come forward to serve the Haj pilgrims by forming a dedicated team of volunteers.
KCF in Saudi Arabia is engaged in addressing socio-economic concerns of expatriate Kannadigas. It also provides a venue for cultural patronage and helps maintain human dignity while respecting deeply the cultural and religious heritage of Saudi Arabia as well as strictly abiding the laws of this holy land.
KCF had launched Haj volunteer service last year. The volunteers had camped three days at the hospital in Mina to dedicate themselves to serve wounded people. The New Mina Hospital had felicitated the KCF Haj volunteer group with an appreciation letter.
Last year, KCF had fielded 100 volunteers to serve the guest of Allah at Mina. This year the number of haj volunteers has increased to around 300. Their service will be available especially for Kannadigas in Mina and Makkah from Dhul Hijjah 9 to 12.
Taking the help of the experts, KCF had drawn a meticulous plan to carry out this Haj volunteer service. The volunteers were given strenuous training before being deputed to service. Hundreds of expatriates from state of Karnataka had come forward to register for volunteer service.
Last year KCF group had started its volunteer work even before the prescribed volunteering days at Mina. KCF volunteers had flocked together to Madina and Makkha to help the pilgrims in all possible way when Hajjajs from India started reaching Madina and Makkah With sole motto of earning the ‘Dua’ of Allah’s guest and thereby the pleasure of Allah, the volunteers were at the door step of Hajis to lift their luggage, to hold their hand, to help them find their ways towards accommodation and give company to elderly and weak pilgrims.
Mr. Saleem Kanyadi, the chief organizer and Mr. Faizal Krishnapura, the convener of the entire set up are very enthused have promised to expand the service to accommodate the more number of volunteer aspirants in coming years.
