The first of Caritas Jordan’s annual youth volunteer camps has commenced in Karak governorate, specifically at the Latin Parish in Ader. The camp is organized by Volunteer Program in cooperation with the Italian association “Non Dalla Guerra” (No to War), and runs from July 26 to August 8, 2025. This camp includes the participation of 17 volunteers from Italy alongside 7 Jordanian participants, coordinated with the parish priest of the Latin Church in Ader, Father Salem Loulos. The camp activities include a variety of volunteer, social, and cultural events, such as field visits to refugee families, creative and artistic workshops for children at the Art Center, a clay workshop in cooperation with the Caritas Center in Karak, assistance in organizing mobile clinic services, and the implementation of a summer educational and recreational school for parish children aged 11 to 16. It is worth noting that these camps are held annually in different parishes across Jordan, aiming to promote cultural exchange and a volunteering experience among youth, while empowering their role in community service. This aligns with Caritas Jordan’s mission of solidarity, service, and partnership. The second camp will be held at the Latin Parish in Hashmi, starting on August 9, 2025.

Caritas Jordan signed a partnership and cooperation agreement with the Rosary Sisters Hospital in Irbid, represented by the Director of the Hospital, Sister Alexandra Hattar, with the aim of enhancing cooperation in providing health services to the beneficiaries of Caritas humanitarian programs. The agreement was signed by Caritas Jordan, General Director, Mr. Wael Suleiman, in the presence of a team of medical staff at the Rosary Nuns Hospital, along with a group of the Caritas Jordan team. The agreement provides for Caritas Jordan to refer patients to the hospital for health services, which include: dispensing basic medicines, laboratory and diagnostic tests, secondary medical services and specialty, in addition to surgical interventions when needed. This agreement comes within the framework of the two parties' efforts to expand the health care umbrella and reach the neediest groups, by promoting the integration of health institutions and humanitarian services provided by Caritas Jordan throughout the Kingdom. In this context, Caritas centers were visited in Irbid and Al-Housn with the aim of activating the role of Caritas in the northern regions and increasing the services provided in them, in addition to discussing ways of cooperation with Father Wajdi Sahawneh, priest of Latin parish / Al-Housn, and thinking of finding new projects that contribute to enhancing interaction with the local community and meeting its needs.
