JEDDAH: The Ministry of Social Development in Bahrain announced in August the initiation of the Arab Youth Society that will soon establish its offices in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries.
The founders of the society are 19 people from Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Palestine, Morocco, Algeria and Saudi Arabia. Ibrahim Al-Ghamdi, a Saudi journalist and activist based in the Eastern Province, is the society’s secretary. “The idea started a year ago.
I met with the other founders on the Internet. We wanted to develop the cultural, social, scientific and athletic aspects of the lives of many young Arab people.
We want to create an ambitious generation willing to give and build a promising future,” said Al-Ghamdi.
He told Arab News that after Ramadan there would be coordination between the Bahraini Ministry of Social Development and the Saudi Social Affairs Ministry to finalize establishing a branch in Saudi Arabia. “It will be the first youth society in the Kingdom.
The society’s board of directors would also be visiting the Ministry of Social Affairs in Saudi to introduce them to the society’s vision and objectives,” added Al-Ghamdi.
