MAKKAH: Volunteers from across Makkah are providing a range of services to pilgrims, offering guidance, medical assistance and logistical support during the busy Ramadan season.
Doctors, engineers, teachers and professionals from different fields take part in the efforts, helping pilgrims navigate the mosque, assisting elderly visitors and people with disabilities, and supporting families and non-Arabic speakers.
The Saudi volunteers affirm that working at the Grand Mosque represents a great honor and a profound responsibility, given the deep spiritual and humanitarian meanings it carries. It is also a way to seek reward and divine recompense while serving the Grand Mosque.
