The Directorate of Social Affairs and Labor in Daraa Governorate, in cooperation with the 'Bunaa' Development Association, launched on Sunday a voluntary initiative aimed at rehabilitating and cleaning the Arts College garden. This work, supported by the governorate, the executive office, and the college deanship, aims to improve the aesthetic and environmental reality of the university campus and add a civilized touch to it.
Rehabilitation and Cleaning Works
The executive works included cleaning the garden of waste, pruning forest and ornamental trees, as well as painting the fence and maintaining benches. Motivational phrases for students were also written at the college entrance, and tree trunks, shelters, and sidewalks were painted, contributing to improving the general appearance of green spaces and preserving them.
Government Support for Associations
The director of the directorate, Dania Al-Mufaelani, clarified that the initiative came in response to a request submitted by the association, emphasizing the directorate's commitment to supporting associations and empowering them to launch community initiatives that contribute to rehabilitating public facilities. She also pointed out the importance of enhancing the culture of voluntary work and community participation through these partnerships.
Expansion Ambitions
For his part, Adham Hussein, director of the 'Bunaa' Association, explained that the idea stemmed from his observation of the garden's need for rehabilitation, stressing the importance of cooperation between official institutions and youth activities. He added that the association plans to expand the scope of its activities to include colleges of education and economics, and is preparing for a tree-planting campaign at the beginning of next year targeting all colleges.
Enhancing Community Belonging
Mohammed Al-Mughayyid, the engineer supervising the gardens of Daraa colleges, confirmed that the participation was driven by a desire to add a civilized charm and consolidate the spirit of initiative and belonging among youth. This initiative comes within the context of government efforts to improve the service and aesthetic reality of public facilities, following previous campaigns to clean roads and riverbeds.
