As part of the activities of the SIWAR Volunteering Program of the King Hussein Cancer Foundation, New York Institute of Technology in Amman Celebrated Mothers day on Monday the 22nd of March at the NYiT Undergraduate Campus by inviting mothers from KHCF whose children have been touched with Cancer. The luncheon which has welcomed 25 women on campus, was held outdoors, where the mothers enjoyed a beautiful afternoon with a catering service and one-on-one small talks with the NYIT students.

“At NYIT we deeply believe that cancer doesn’t only begin and end with detection and chemotherapy, the humane side of our institute is the psychological side of the patient, which is why we are pleased to host this mother’s day luncheon annually, to remind those patients or mothers of patients that we are there to hold their hand every step of the way, as brother, sisters, and family.” says Dr. Mohammad Hussein, Executive Chairman of the Middle East.

It is worth mentioning that SIWAR Volunteering Program seeks to engage members of the community in the fight against cancer to assist the King Hussein Cancer Center in its life-saving work by providing practical, emotional and social support for cancer patients and their families. The Program also aims to increase public awareness about cancer and to create a “philosophy of giving” by promoting volunteering as a powerful force of change for volunteers themselves and for the community.
